They are planning a move for the 26-year-old Dutch international at the end of the season, and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle are willing to sanction his departure.
According to SportsBoomLiverpool are considering making a bid for him. Botman has also been linked with Chelsea.
Liverpool are eyeing Sven Botman’s move
Liverpool recently agreed a deal to sign Jeremy Jacquet. However, they are looking to add a new defender to the squad. Ibrahima Konate will leave the club on a free transfer this summer and Virgil van Dijk is entering the twilight phase of his career, so he will need to be replaced in the future.
Additionally, Joe Gomez is injury prone and will likely be moved. It’s no surprise that Liverpool are looking at multiple defensive options.
Botman would be a great addition
Botman has done well for Newcastle in the Premier League, and there is no doubt he is good enough for Liverpool too. However, during his stay in England he suffered several injuries. Liverpool will not want to sign an injury-prone player. They need someone with excellent availability, and it remains to be seen whether they are willing to take a chance on the Newcastle star.
The chance to join Liverpool will be exciting for the Dutch international. It would be a step forward for him and he could play for one of the biggest clubs in the world. He would also join a team where he could potentially aim for trophies.
However, Newcastle are already short on defence, and selling one of their best players would be a huge blow. It remains to be seen how the situation will develop.
