MilanNews confirm that Botman remains the first choice target for the defensive department as Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara made their choice six months ago and have maintained it ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Rossoneri management want to complete the operation in the coming days and there has been an agreement for some time now with the 22-year-old, but the final agreement between Milan and Lille is still missing, based on a figure of around €30m.
