Newcastle United defensive target Sven Botman has opened up on the club's £50million offer to buy him from Lille.
The 21-year-old was United's primary target at the start of the month but Lille resisted the Magpies' advances.
Botman has spoken openly about the interest from the Magpies and hinted he may consider a switch to the North-East in the future - although he also references AC Milan's admiration for him.

He told Ziggo Sport: “Everyone says about Newcastle - it's all about money.
"But it's a very nice project, if you look at where Man City and PSG started. I think it would be very nice to be part of that, but Milan is a beautiful club."
When asked if he would revisit a possible switch to St James' Park, he added: "I'm fine at Lille for the time being.
"I assume that I will take a good step in my career next summer.
"You never know in football.
"This time both Newcastle and Milan were in very concrete talks.
"Both clubs have their positive points."
