Sven Botman posts meeting with agency on Instagram amid Liverpool transfer rumours

Liverpool transfer target Sven Botman has held a meeting with his agency amid reports he could move to Anfield this month. Lille centre-back Botman is a reported target for Jurgen Klopp to help solve his injury crisis at the back. And the 20-year-old has dropped a hint he could soon be on the move.

Botman posted a boomerang video on his Instagram story this afternoon, where he was sitting in an office.

He tagged his agency, Muy Manero, in the story as well as posting a red heart emoji and a handshake emoji.

Liverpool fans took to social media after seeing the post and some were excited that a move could happen.

“Sven Botman on Instagram…is he on the move?” tweeted one fan.

“Not to speculate but Botman just put this on his Instagram story. That’s a sports management company, it’s happening,” wrote another.

Transfer expert Duncan Castles claims Botman would be a considerably cheaper option for Liverpool than the likes of RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano.

And Castles says discussions have already taken place between Liverpool and Lille over a deal.

“What they’re working on according to my information is a deal for a player who would be significantly cheaper,” Castles said on the Transfer Window podcast.

“That is Sven Botman, who is in his first season at Lille, transferred from Ajax in the summer for an initial €8m (£7m). He has been outstanding at Lille.
