Bayer Leverkusen has shown interest in Sven Botman as they consider him a potential replacement for Piero Hincapié. However, Newcastle United reportedly has no plans to sell the defender, which complicates the possibility of a deal. Sven Botman has played a crucial role at Newcastle over the past three years, although he began this season on the bench for two matches. The 25-year-old Dutch defender joined Newcastle from OSC Lille three years ago for 37 million euros and has since made 76 appearances for the club. Bayer Leverkusen's interest arises as they anticipate the potential departure of Hincapié to FC Arsenal. Botman's contract with Newcastle is valid until 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €42 million.
