Lille president Olivier Letang stressed again in an interview this week that the team has no intention of selling centre-back Boltman in this winter window.
Botman has been in frequent contact with Newcastle and AC Milan in recent times, but Lille is reluctant to let go of the Dutch centre-back. Lille Chairman Olivier Letang responded when asked again about the topic in an interview: "It's January 19th, and I don't know what will happen between now and closing the windows. It's important for us to maintain a competitive squad because we still have goals to achieve. ”
"I spoke to Botman last Saturday and I explained to him that we want to keep the best players and we're not going to let him go now, we want to keep him. We now have a full squad. ”
Lille will play Chelsea in next month's Champions League knockout round.
