In this season's Serie A, although the overall performance of the Rossoneri AC Milan has a certain ups and downs, but still see the hope of winning the league championship trophy after the end of the season, an important reason for their unstable performance is that the team's lineup depth is not enough, and it is also during the Champions League group stage and the league week double, the Rossoneri lost a lot of points in the domestic arena, so that they could not establish a greater lead in the standings, in order to be able to make their competitiveness stronger. AC Milan also began to look for the right reinforcement object in the transfer market, according to the well-known football journalist Schola, the Rossoneri has negotiated personal treatment with the Dutch iron guard Botman, who currently plays for Ligue 1 team Lille, AC Milan will provide him with a contract expiring in 2027, with an annual salary of 3 million euros plus floating bonuses, which also means that Botman is only one step away from joining the Rossoneri, as long as the two clubs agree on the transfer fee, he will officially become a member of the Rossoneri!
Botman, who debuted in the Dutch league team Ajax Academy, was favored by Ligue 1 side Lille in 20 years, the latter was discerning, only spent 8 million euros to recruit it, and became the absolute main force of the team's backline, in the first season of joining the team, Botman played 47 games for Lille in all competitions, including 45 starts, excellent personal performance also helped Lille in the 20-21 season to break the big cold, Ligue 1 defeated the mighty Giants Paris Saint-Germain to win the Ligue 1 title.
Although With the departure of many cores this season, Lille's combat effectiveness has declined significantly, and he has withdrawn from the championship race early, but Botman's personal performance is still outstanding, so far, a total of 28 games for the team, while completing the defensive task well, he has also shown his attributes as a knife defender, has scored 3 goals, and sent 1 assist, which is why AC Milan favors him.
This season, only 22 years old, Botman has all the conditions to become a top center-back, 1 meter 95 height makes him have a good air defense ability, and Botman is also flexible enough, and has a good ability to shoot the ball, which is also a lot of Rossoneri fans, they hope that Botman can grow up to be a top defender in world football like his Dutch national team predecessor Van Dijk.
In the long run, AC Milan's signing of Botman is also very necessary, and Romagnoli, who spent the darkest hour with the team, is likely to leave the Rossoneri after the end of the season, in this case, signing a younger Boltman not only guarantees the depth of the Rossoneri defender line, but also gives the team a brighter future.
This season the Rossoneri AC Milan can see the hope of returning to the Serie A title, goalkeeper Mineon can be said to be indispensable, and before joining AC Milan, Menion and Botman are Lille's teammates, but also the team to win the Ligue 1 backline of the two most important core players, which also makes many AC Milan fans more optimistic about Botman's prospects in the Rossoneri!
