Sven Botman has revealed he intends to leave Lille this summer amid links to Newcastle and AC Milan, and the defender says talks with potential suitors are already underway.
Shortly after becoming the richest club in world football, Eddie Howe's side were heavily interested in Botman and made bids in the region of £32million during the January transfer window.
However, they failed to push a deal over the line but have continued their pursuit this summer, alongside Serie A champions AC Milan, who are also interested in the Dutchman.
