Ser ut som vi er ute av Botman og gitt opp den overgangen.

"Lille refused English approaches for Botman, including one from Newcastle at €35M
We will have to be attentive to the central defenders market between this end of the winter transfer window and the next transfer window next summer. Several important clubs in Europe are looking for this position. A significant demand that could drive up prices and do business for French clubs whose players are in great demand.
This is the case with Sven Botman. Identified by several European recruiting cells, the central defender is probably the most courted element. But the LOSC is resisting, for the moment, all approaches. Newcastle are however very urgent and made several offers to Lille, the last of which is around 35 million euros.
Except that the Lille leaders will end the 2021/2022 financial year positive on the economic level with the qualification in the knockout stages of the Champions League and the sale of Jonathan Ikoné to Fiorentina estimated at 15 million euros. Financial results which, for the moment, allow Lille to resist and to remain firm. Until next summer, when the door will open for Sven Botman."
