"Newcastle United's new sporting director Ross Wilson is likely to work on a new contract for key defender Sven Botman in the next few weeks. The 25-year-old has been a key player for Newcastle since his arrival from Lille a few years ago, and it's not too surprising that his form has seen him attract interest from other top clubs."
"Liverpool and Chelsea are two clubs crying out for a centre-back of Botman's calibre right now. It's been a nightmare few weeks for Liverpool in particular, who have lost six of their last seven games whilst conceding alarmingly high numbers of goals. Botman could be ideal to fix that, giving LFC a long-term replacement for the ageing Virgil van Dijk, while Ibrahima Konate will also soon need replacing as there's seemingly no progress on a new deal for him at Anfield."
Newcastle United's sporting director Ross Wilson is likely to prioritise negotiating a new contract for 25-year-old centre-back Sven Botman in the coming weeks. Botman joined from Lille and has been a key player for the club, with his current deal running until 2027. Multiple top clubs including Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the Dutch defender. Liverpool and Chelsea face urgent needs at centre-back, with Liverpool enduring defensive struggles and Chelsea lacking reliable options, raising the risk that Botman could become a transfer target if Newcastle does not act promptly.
