Agent denies deal in place for Lille stopper Botman amid Liverpool, Man Utd interest

Lille centre-back Sven Botman's agent has come out to deny rumours he is set to leave the club.

Reports from Canal+ in France suggested a top European club were willing to buy the 21-year-old center half this summer.

A fee of €45 million is reported, but the player's agent has rubbished such claims.

Speaking to Voetbalzone, Nikkie Bruinenberg said such rumors were "fake news."

Botman has a contract with the French club until 2025, and he only joined last summer after Gabriel was sold to Arsenal.
