Lille's Dutch central defender, Sven Botman, is due to leave the French club in the summer's transfer window, it seems, as he has strong interest from two clubs in particular: Serie A champions AC Milan and Premier League side Newcastle. The former talent of Ajax who is 22 years old, for his part, seems to be leaning towards the Rossoneri.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in today's print edition, the player is resisting the rich offer of Newcastle and has his eyes fixed on the San Siro. The offer from The Magpies seems to satisfy Lille financially. However, Botman has promised himself to AC Milan. The British are ready to change focus if Botman does not accept their offer soon. The Dutch central defender insists on playing with the champions of Italy under the guidance of coach Stefano Pioli.
