Marco Silva’s Everton have been heavily linked with Premier League star Doucoure and Watford appear to have found a replacement in the Olympiakos star.
Watford are lining up an £8.5 million bid to sign Olympiakos midfielder Mady Camara, according to Greek publication SportDog.
The 22-year-old Guinea international only joined Olympiakos last summer from French outfit Ajaccio but it seems the Super League side are already facing a challenge holding on to one of their prized assets.
Camara has scored five goals in 35 games this season despite playing in a defensive midfield role with his energy and tactical ability catching the eye of many clubs, including Watford.
SportDog claims that the Hornets see the youngster as a replacement for Abdoulaye Doucoure, who is likely to attract plenty of interest this summer after another fine season at Vicarage Road.
Doucoure is valued at around £30 million and Watford are apparently preparing for his departure with an £8.5 million bid for Camara. They will likely have to pay closer to £13 million for the four-cap international, however.
Everton have been most heavily linked with Doucoure, who made his mark at Watford under current Toffees boss Marco Silva last season, as reported by France Football.
Expect Everton to make a move if Idrissa Gana Gueye leaves Goodison Park this summer.
