DBasia.news – AC Milan is very serious about being able to use the services of Sven Botman. The Rossoneri have not stopped chasing the Lille defender even though the winter transfer window has closed.
Milan tried to bring in a central defender in January. This is inseparable from the crisis of players in Stefano Pioli’s team’s defense.
The name Botman became one of the main targets being targeted. But the transfer process became complicated because Lille was reluctant to let him go.
Lille priced Botman at around 30 million euros. Milan tried to outsmart it by offering a loan package first before buying it permanently.
In the end no deal happened. Botman remained at Lille despite being targeted by other clubs such as Newcastle United.
But the survival of Botman at Lille is a breath of fresh air for Milan. The player seems to be waiting for the opportunity to move to the San Siro next summer.
“Botman will not be leaving Lille this winter despite the large number of fans. They can’t meet the asking price and Lille don’t want to sell him at all,” Botman’s agent Nikkie Bruinenberg told Voetbal International.
“But I can tell you that Milan is one of the clubs interested. We’ll have to wait and see where he plays football next summer.”
Milan’s opportunity to secure the services of Botman in the summer is quite open. The player is said to have dreamed of moving there.
But Milan cannot relax. Other big clubs are ready to overtake them at the last corner for Botman’s services.
