Charlton Athletic are showing loan interest in Blues midfielder Panutche Camara.

According to Addicks sources, a deal is understood to be set to go through once their ongoing takeover is confirmed.

The 26-year-old had previously been mentioned in connection with Sheffield Wednesday and it’s reported that the Guinea-Bissau international has pulled out of a proposed loan switch to the Owls with Peterborough having also shown interest.

Just over a week ago, Town manager Kieran McKenna revealed that Camara, who endured a frustrating, injury-hit 2022/23 following his £500,000 move from Plymouth, is set to leave the club on loan during the close season.

“Panutche, we spoke to in the summer,” he said. “We think as a football club it's going to be best for him to go on loan this season to get minutes having missed minutes last year. The first half of last season with injury but then in the second half of the season with other players coming in and doing really well.

“He's been training really well, is a top professional, is training really well but we have spoken to him earlier in the summer about going on loan this season, so he's in communication, we've had communication from some different clubs. That process is ongoing at the moment.”

Previous links with League One Portsmouth were dismissed by Pompey manager John Mousinho.

Ipswichbusiness added 16:55 - Jul 17 According to Wikipedia, he was signed in 2022 on a two year deal. Given that, and the multiplicity of midfield options available to us, if he is sent off on a season long loan then I can’t see him coming back. I suspect that the real reason for the loan is to get his wages off our books.

Jugsy added 17:25 - Jul 17 I think there's something bigger going on here. If players struggle to gel with the team ethos and the culture that's been built, I think they find themselves surplus to requirements very quickly. In his previous interviews, he made it clear that he's trying to get to the top - if you look at how our players talk they're always reflecting on the team's success rather than individual accolades. I think there's more to this loan than is being let on.

Jugsy added 13:18 - Jul 18 Lots of negative votes on my post. Lest we forget, Camara is in year two of a two year contract (option of another year available to Town). Doesn't seem like a player we're backing sending him on loan for a season, plus the addition of Jack Taylor.
