Newcastle United make £90k Sven Botman contract decision as Liverpool and Chelsea eye move

After two difficult seasons, the Newcastle United player is back to his best and is winning over rivals in the top division.

 

The defensive lynchpin for Newcastle United Despite receiving interest from Chelsea and Liverpool, Sven Botman is happy with his life on Tyneside.

After recovering from a few seasons marred by injuries, Botman is returning to his peak performance in a black and white shirt. The Dutchman has gotten along well with Malick Thiaw despite being surprisingly snubbed by Ronald Koeman, the manager of his national team, ahead of the World Cup.

Botman’s current contract at United is expected to expire in 2027, making him one of several stars nearing the conclusion of their current agreements. The former Ajax player, who isn’t now among St. James’ Park’s top earners, is amenable to negotiating a new contract.

According to reports, Botman makes about £90,000 a week at Newcastle, which is far less than the £150,000 that players like Joelinton, Bruno, and Anthony Gordon receive each week.

There is ‘nothing going’ in contract negotiations, according to sources in Holland, but things could change in the coming weeks when sporting director Ross Wilson gets his foot in the door.

Those close to Botman have resisted the interest of top-flight competitors, but Newcastle will try to extend the deal since they are covered until 2027. Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool, thinks Botman is a cool customer. The Reds will need a new center-half after losing out on Marc Guehi in the summer. Chelsea, on the other hand, has long been a fan.

“Those discussions are ongoing all the time now,” Toon manager Eddie Howe told Chronicle Live, referring to Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar as more urgent examples. Howe knows he needs to strike the proper mix with enough new blood and experience in the team. Ross is here now, which I think is fantastic.

“Since Ross will be addressing the board and the right individuals during the season, it enables me to avoid having those discussions too frequently. I will be communicating with Ross every day.

Futures decisions will be made at a later time. It’s game after game now that the season is well underway.

“The players’ minds have been very good and they have been very focused on trying to deliver their best performances, and if they continue to play as well as they are, their futures will take care of themselves.”

Brentford and Igor Thiago play hardball.

Three weeks ago, Chronicle Live’s Saturday morning notebook set the standard by speculating that Newcastle was considering Igor Thiago. Since then, the Brazilian has scored goals against West Ham and Liverpool to maintain his prominence in the media.

Since then, the 24-year-old has also been linked to Tottenham and Aston Villa; nevertheless, Brentford is already attempting to spread the word that Thiago is not for sale since they are concerned about the previous transactions of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa.

In the event that the star walks away with double their money for the potent striker, Brentford, who paid £30 million for Thiago, will seek a healthy profit. The phrase “not for sale” appears to be losing favor following the Newcastle sales of Mbeumo, Wissa, and Alexander Isak.

Boxing Day alterations are explained by Premier League executives.

Originally scheduled for December 27, Newcastle’s matchup with Manchester United has been moved to Boxing Day. Newcastle and the Red Devils will be the only teams playing that evening, and the game will now start at 8 p.m.

“The Premier League would like to acknowledge the circumstances that have led to a reduced number of matches on Boxing Day this season – impacting an important tradition in English football,” a statement from the Premier League noted.

“The expansion of European club tournaments has created a number of difficulties for Premier League fixture scheduling, which resulted in a reform of our domestic calendar prior to the previous season, including adjustments to the FA Cup. Despite being a 380-match league since 1995, this finally reduced the Premier League to 33 weekends, which is less than previous seasons.

“The League is constrained by the autumn of the calendar and has fewer weekends to work with. Given that Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, the League can guarantee that there will be more Premier League games on the day next season.

As in past years, and in keeping with our dedication to clubs, specific plans have been put in place to provide players more time in between games during the holiday season. With longer rest intervals between rounds 18, 19, and 20 to guarantee that no club plays within 60 hours of another match, players will have more time to recuperate.
