To replace the injured experienced defender Simon Kjaer, AC Milan must work hard to secure the signing of their number 1 target, Sven Botman who is highly valued by Lille.
Reports are suggesting that the French club is driving a difficult bargain due to high asking price which the Rossoneri cannot afford during this transfer market window: around 30 million euros.
Premier League side, Newcastle, have been reportedly also on the track of the defender as they want to add more quality to the squad of Eddie Howe who is trying to steady the ship and avoid the relegation zone this season.
As per Calciomercato.com's correspondent Daniele Longo, Sven Botman wants to sign for AC Milan and that is why he already rejected an offer from Newcastle.
A further report from journalist Pasquale Guarro claims that AC Milan held talks with the talented central defender. Lille's request is indeed 40 million euros. It is a difficult deal, but negotiations are ongoing.
