Sven Botman has been on the radar of AC Milan for quite some time now. The Dutch defender of Lille who played for Ajax in the past is understood to be the next reinforcement in Stefano Pioli's squad in view of next season.
Milannews.it have spoken in an interview with former Ajax and Inter right-winger Andy Van Der Meyde who said the following:
"Ajax didn't want Botman. then he went to France where he showed good things. It must be said that it is not easy to play in the French league. But Sven is very strong and will now go to Milan. For the Rossoneri it is a good signing, the performance of recent years has shown Ajax that they were wrong about him."
On why was Sven Botman not successful at Ajax:
"It was difficult for him, as Ajax had a certain De Ligt. Botman, however, from a very young age proved to be an excellent defender. If Milan buys you it means that you did well, there is a reason. Now he will play in Serie A, which in my opinion remains one of the most difficult and competitive leagues in the world."
