Milan, the Botman track lights up: summit with Lille, the situation | First page

The market opens and the Milan moves to give Pioli Kjaer’s replacement: Sven Botman’s name takes hold. The central of the Little has been at the top of the wish list for some time, but in the last few hours the track leading to the Dutch defender has been on fire. His profile convinces all the components of the Rossoneri club, from the scouting area to the management to the ownership, everyone is convinced that Botman’s profile is the right one to strengthen the group in view of the second half of the season: for the qualities shown in France and with the national team, for the growth prospects (born in 2000) and, in the future, for that left foot that would also make it the ideal replacement for Romagnoli, in case of farewell at the end of the season. MEETING FIXED – A total satisfaction that translates into a sprint from Milan. The very difficult negotiation became possible, also thanks to Lille’s need to raise money despite the sale of Icon to Fiorentina, and if the competition is not lacking in favor of the Rossoneri, the will of the player himself plays: Botman is currently not intrigued by Newcastle’s court, danger number one in the race for the defender. The Rossoneri are proceeding with caution, but are now ready to take a step forward and, according to what they have learned from Calciomercato.com, a meeting with Lille is scheduled for the next few days: the vertex will serve to understand if it is possible to initiate an operation in onerous loan with right of redemption, which can become an obligation to fulfill certain conditions. If an opening to this formula and to one will come from the French club discount compared to the initial valuation of 30 million euros for the card, then the deal could take off quickly and approach a good outcome: Milan are convinced and want to invest in Botman, an appointment with Lille to discuss it.-
