Newcastle United's main defensive target of the summer Sven Botman wants his future decided before his summer holiday.
The 22-year-old will sign off from Holland Under-21 duty later this week with both the Magpies and AC Milan grappling for his signature. With the Serie A club still awaiting confirmation of a takeover though, it is Newcastle that are growing increasingly confident that a deal could be landed soon.
Chronicle Live understands that Lille's asking price of around €30million has been agreed by the Magpies. And in comparison with Milan, who are waiting for confirmation of transfer funds, Newcastle are said to have an advantage over the Italian champions.
