Transfer News: Wolves are interested in defender Sven Botman as a Duje Caleta-Car option but face competition from Seville | Football news

The wolves are interested in Lille’s Sven Botman in search of a new central defender ahead of time, but they face stiff competition from Seville.

Sky Sports news said on Wednesday that the Midlands Club has been negotiations with Duje Caleta-Carille, but the player wants to continue playing European football if he leaves Marseille this summer.

It’s a difficult task to convince a Croatian to move to Molineux, so Botman is the alternative Wolves is looking for.

However, Seville is also very interested in making the Dutchman a successor to Jules Kounde.

Kounde is Chelsea’s primary defense and negotiations are expected to progress once Kurt Zouma has completed his move to West Ham, which is close.

Seville can offer Botman’s Champions League football and competition to reach the top four in La Liga, although Botman is also interested in playing in the Premier League.

Lille wants to keep Botman, and he still has four years to continue the five-year deal he signed with Ajax last summer – so he’s not cheaply available.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Lille financially and Sky Sports news it has been reported that if the team comes to offer a similar offer as the £ 27 million they earned to Gabriel, Lille could genuinely consider it.

Sky Sports news Botman said earlier this summer that Botman was one of Atalanta ‘s main targets to replace Cristian Romero, who joined Tottenham, but the Italian club chose Juventus’ Merih Demiral instead.

Top Premier League clubs such as Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham have all followed Botman, but are not yet convinced that he is ready for his level after just one full season in France.

West Ham, Crystal Palace, Norwich and Newcastle have all done surveys this calendar year, but the wolves have come in late at the window, while Seville announced its interest some time ago.

Botman was a great head coach for Christophe Galtier last season. He appeared in 37 matches when Lille won the Ligue 1 championship against Saint-Germain in Paris, as well as eight more impressive performances in the Europa League before starring in the Dutch U21 Championships last month.
