"Botman, the 6ft 4in defender, admired for his composure, aerial dominance and ability to build play from the back, has been repeatedly linked as one of Liverpool's preferred solutions. Newcastle are confident they can keep hold of Sven Botman. Contract talks have started with the intention of finding an agreement on a new deal. He has 18 months left, and right now the key for him is staying fit and enjoying his football."
"Botman endured injury setbacks last season but has returned strongly, re-establishing himself as a cornerstone of Eddie Howe's defence. He's a key man for Eddie Howe. The club wants to avoid another situation like the Alexander Isak saga last summer. Big clubs sniffing around is a concern, but Botman appears happy, and as long as Newcastle are competing at the highest level, he's likely to stay."
Newcastle United have opened negotiations with Sven Botman over a new contract to fend off interest from Europe's biggest clubs, including Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. Botman, a 6ft 4in centre-back known for composure, aerial dominance and ability to build play from the back, has 18 months remaining on his current deal. Botman suffered injuries last season but has returned strongly and re-established himself as a defensive cornerstone for Eddie Howe. Newcastle view tying him down as a priority to avoid losing key players. Liverpool are expected to prioritise signing a centre-back in 2026 amid Ibrahima Konate's uncertain future.
