„Lille“ last week rejected a £30 million offer from „Newcastle“ for Sven Botman, and on Monday Fabrizio Romano announced that the French champions informed the English team that they considered the defender "untouchable" and will not sell him in January. „Lille“ will seek to keep their defensive leader and offer the Dutchman a new, larger contract, despite the fact that his current one runs until the summer of 2025. „The Athletic“ reports that a deal for Sevilla's Diego Carlos is already being prepared. Initially it was expected that Carlos would join Botman at „Newcastle“ and form a new pair of „Magpies“ center backs. Fabrizio Romano claims that another alternative is the £35 million-rated „Monaco“ defender Benoit Badiashile. It is believed that the talented 20-year-old is attracting interest from various „Premier“ League clubs, including „Newcastle“, „West Ham“, and „Wolves“.
