Manchester City are weighing up a move for Lille defender Sven Botman.

Botman was a regular for Lille last season and played a key role in helping them beat Paris Saint-Germain to the Ligue 1 title, with the club keeping an impressive 21 clean sheets.

L'Equipe says Pep Guardiola's City side are monitoring the Dutchman after being alerted to his availability this summer.

Botman signed a five-year deal with Lille after joining the club from Ajax last summer.

But the French club have a history of selling players on for a profit, with Nicolas Pepe joining Arsenal for £72m in 2019 before Gabriel Magalhaes joined him at the Emirates in a £27m the following summer.

Lille will reportedly demand £43m for Botman due to the number of clubs interested and his lengthy contract means they can afford to wait for the right price.
