Liverpool never held official talks to sign Sven Botman from Lille – but “are looking at the player”, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Botman was one of a number of centre-backs linked with Liverpool during the January transfer window.



Now, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed the extent of Liverpool’s interest (via the Here We Go podcast).



“We mentioned Botman as one of the potential centre-backs of the summer because Lille need to sell players,” Romano said.



“Keep an eye on the other clubs who are looking for a centre-back, because we know in the summer a lot of centre-backs will move, and keep an eye on Botman because he will be one of the most interesting because he is a good, good player.” Reports have also indicated that Tottenham possess an interest in the Dutchman.

He will need to continue such form to convince Liverpool to activate their option to buy him at the end of the season.

But with Lille still needing to raise funds, the opportunity to sign Botman in the summer may remain.
