First 'barraca' at market close: Chelsea fails to sign Enzo Fernández's substitute at the buzzer

Record1 September 2026 at 23:15

Chelsea failed to sign Lamine Camara as Enzo Fernández's substitute at the buzzer. The deal with Monaco, which had already been agreed upon, ultimately fell through, with the Monegasque club backtracking on the operation.

Midfielder Lamine Camara was the player targeted by Chelsea to strengthen the midfield after the possible departure of Enzo Fernández. The English club had everything arranged with Monaco, but saw the deal fail at the last moment.

This was the first time Chelsea missed a market close with an agreement already in place, marking an unusual moment for a club that has been very active in the transfer market in recent years.

The failed signing of Camara leaves Chelsea without the intended substitute for Enzo Fernández, who continues to be linked to Barcelona, leaving uncertainty about the Argentine's future at the London club.

At Barradão, Vasco tries to repeat 2009 feat against Vitória to reach Copa do Brasil semifinal; relive it

Vasco seeks its third consecutive Copa do Brasil semifinal by facing Vitória this Wednesday at Barradão, in Salvador. After winning the first leg 1-0 at São Januário, the Cruz-Maltino only needs a draw to advance, while a one-goal loss takes the decision to penalties. Vasco's record at Barradão is unfavorable — only six wins in 29 games against Vitória at the Bahian stadium — but the team tries to draw inspiration from the classification achieved at the same stage in 2009, when it managed to hold the opponent away from home. The teams have faced each other four times in the Copa do Brasil, with Vitória advancing in three of them.
