Liverpool reportedly had an interest in Newcastle United centre backsben Bottman in recent months, but did not contact the move.
But while the Reds may need to see their defense again this January, the long-term injury to youngster Giovanni Leoni looks like a major blow.
Arne Slot’s side has already acknowledged many goals at the beginning of this season. These factors seem to have led Liverpool to consider entering the defender market this winter.
That’s what Talksport called the Botman of Newcastle as one name that appeared on Liverpool’s radar in the summer, and they didn’t move for him.
Liverpool is interested in Sven Bottman, but Newcastle doesn’t want to sell it
Botman is a key player in Newcastle, and Talksport claims he has no plans to leave the 25-year-old Dutchman.
If Botman moved, I imagine TransferMarkt would currently be worth 42 million euros.
The LFC specifically signed NUFC’s Alexander Isak in the summer, but it remains to be seen whether the two clubs will be able to do business again anytime soon.
Isaac Saga was not pretty at times, but at the end of the day Liverpool won their man, and this might be interesting if they decide that Botman is worth it as well.
Still, the report also mentions several other names that can take into account the Merseyside giants.
But while Botman could be an outstanding option, it makes sense if Newcastle struggled to defend this very, very skilled central defender after his incredible form at St. James Park.
