According to what the Sky journalist is saying on Twitter, Milan have confirmed to Botman’s entourage that their intention is to sign the Dutch centre-back in June as ‘priority target’. Not only that, but Romano adds it was a ‘positive, direct meeting’ in Milano today.
However, the Rossoneri are not alone in their pursuit. Newcastle United have been pushing for months to sign the 22-year-old – who was a Ligue 1 winner with Lille last season – but Milan want Botman and they won’t give up.
Milan are looking for a long-term partner for Fikayo Tomori in the centre of their defence and it seems as though Botman is the player that they have chosen despite links with a number of other targets.
