Newcastle United defender Sven Botman is rumored to be on the verge of leaving the club in the coming months.
According to reports, Liverpool and Chelsea are interested in signing the Dutch defender. The 25-year-old has been in great form since joining Newcastle, but has had his fair share of injury problems. It will be interesting to see whether Liverpool or Chelsea decide to make a formal offer to sign him.
The 25-year-old defender has the quality to play for one of the country’s biggest clubs and could be a useful signing for Liverpool and Chelsea.
Liverpool could use Sven Botman
Liverpool need to tighten up at the back after failing to sign Marc Guehi during the summer. They need another central defender in the coming months. Signing a Newcastle player could be a smart move.
Newcastle have no intention of letting him leave and are hoping to extend his contract. The defender currently earns £90,000 a week, but his new contract will see his wages rise to £250,000 a week. The defender is reportedly open to signing a new contract with Newcastle. His current contract expires in 2027 and the Magpies will be keen to secure his future soon.
Chelsea eye Botman
Meanwhile, Chelsea are also interested in the Dutch defender. They have suffered from multiple injury problems at the back this season and need to improve in that area of the pitch. It will be interesting to see if they can sign the Newcastle star in the coming months.
The 25-year-old is no stranger to the Premier League and could settle in quickly and make an immediate impact. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
