After a wave of eight unbeaten runs (5 wins and 3 draws), Milan are already in the leading position in the table. Three points ahead of Napoli and six points ahead of rival Inter Inc. in the first round of the junior round. Given their recent precarious form, Milan are very likely to retain their advantage in the remaining 8 league rounds and win the Serie A title again after a gap of 12 years.
In addition to the good level of performance, Milan's top management is also steadily advancing in terms of team building, and good news is frequent. According to Italian journalist Longo, the Dutch 22-year-old centre-back Botman has chosen Milan as his next home, and the two sides have pre-signed a 5-year contract. It is worth mentioning that Menion played an important role in this, detailing Milan to his former teammate Botman.
Newcastle are also interested in Botman, but the players are bent on joining Milan. Milan plan to close the deal within 15 days, and they are willing to pay a fixed transfer fee of 30 million euros, plus a floating bonus.
In recent years, Lille has produced a number of quality players for the top five european leagues. Milan, on the other hand, are loyal customers of Lille and have received good returns. In the summer window of 2019, Leo joined Milan for a transfer fee of 29.5 million euros and has now become a sharp knife in the team's front. In the summer window last year, Donnarumma joined Paris freely, Milan once again set its sights on Lille, and The 14.3 million euro introduction of Menion has now successfully filled the vacancy.
Today, there is a need for a reshuffle in milan centre-backs and in midfield positions, and Lille has once again become their "arsenal". The 22-year-old Botman is the leader of the new generation of Dutch centre-backs, and he can see the shadow of the legendary Dutch centre-back Stam. Tall, physically strong, confrontational, tough, with strong frontal defense and air defense capabilities. Although not very fast, Botman's defensive awareness and ability to intercept the ball are quite outstanding.
As a young player, Botman's sense of position is already very sophisticated, which allows him to always block the opponent's pass in time and block the opponent's dribble. In addition, steals are also a strong point for Botman, who is very good at using his height and leg length to complete steals and interceptions. Moreover, Botman is a left-footed centre-back, which also adds to his scarcity.
Because Romagnoli's contract is about to expire, it has been difficult for the two sides to agree on the annual salary of the renewal, so Botman is also regarded as a replacement for "Little Rome".

Manoli's replacement was found, and Casey's successor, also from Lille. In addition to Botman, Milan are also eyeing Lille midfielder Renato Sanchez, who is also one of Milan's key signing targets this summer.
According to previous media sources, Milan are the closest team to get the Portugal international, and they are currently waiting for a clear answer from the players. But Milan's reporter Carlo Pelegatti is not optimistic that the deal will work, because Sanchez wants an annual salary of 6 million to 7 million euros, and Milan has no players except Ibrahimovic with a salary of more than 4 million to 4.5 million, which is also one of the core problems that Milan are waiting for.
