"Liverpool have reportedly had an interest in Newcastle United centre-back Sven Botman in recent months, but without making contact over a move. The Reds might have to look again at their defence this January, though, with the long-term injury to youngster Giovanni Leoni looking like a big blow. Arne Slot's side are already conceding a lot of goals at the start of this season, and it seems these factors have led Liverpool to consider entering the market for a defender this winter."
"Botman has been a key player for Newcastle, and talkSPORT claim that they don't plan to let the 25-year-old Dutchman leave. If Botman were to move, one imagines he would not be cheap, with Transfermarkt putting his value at 42m at the moment, meaning the Magpies would likely ask for quite a lot more than that. LFC notably signed Alexander Isak from NUFC in the summer, and it remains to be seen if the two clubs could do business again so soon."
Liverpool expressed interest in Newcastle centre-back Sven Botman during the summer but made no contact over a move. The Reds may revisit defensive recruitment in January after youngster Giovanni Leoni suffered a long-term injury and the team has conceded many early-season goals. talkSPORT named Botman among potential targets, though Newcastle reportedly do not want to sell the 25-year-old. Transfermarkt currently values Botman at €42m, suggesting Newcastle would demand a higher fee. Liverpool completed a transfer for Alexander Isak from Newcastle in the summer, and a repeat of negotiations between the clubs could prove complicated.
