Mark Brus in the Daily Briefing reported that Liverpool have Sven Botman on their list of candidates. Botman is very highly thought of among Anfield officials, who had considered him during the recent summer transfer window. It is almost certain that Newcastle will make it extremely difficult for Liverpool to sign Botman, given their feelings towards the reigning Premier League champions as a result of the Isak saga. Eddie Howe has also made it clear that he wants to keep the defender.

Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Sven Botman is on Liverpool’s wishlist as an alternative to Marc Guehi.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Sven Botman is on the Reds’ radar and is one of four new options being discussed internally at Liverpool to sign a new central defender in the January transfer window. Deals for Botman are seen as hugely ambitious, with the Magpies adamant they will not sell another top star to their Premier League rivals.

Jose Fonte has urged Liverpool to make a move for Newcastle United’s Sven Botman to replace Virgil van Dijk, who has not clarified his future at Liverpool with his contract ending soon. Fonte, a former teammate of Botman at Lille, praised Botman’s abilities, comparing him to Van Dijk, and expressed hope that Liverpool would consider him after his recovery from injury.
