Newcastle United headlines: Sven Botman snub, Michael Carrick admission and Peter Ramage reshuffle

Your Newcastle United evening headlines for Wednesday, June 15.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report Sven Botman is only interested in a move to AC Milan. Toon chiefs had hoped to make progress in their attempt to sign the Dutch U21 international, who was heavily linked with the Magpies in January.

However, Italian outlets claim the centre-back is not interested in a Newcastle move and is holding out for the Serie A champions. The transfer saga is at a stalemate and Botman is now enjoying his end-of-season holiday.

ChronicleLive reported last week that Newcastle and Lille had agreed a €30million fee while the player mulled over a move. New sporting director Dan Ashworth watched Botman in action against Wales U21 last week, sparking rumours that a deal was close. However, given the fact the 22-year-old featured in a mocked-up image wearing red and black stripes on the front of the Italian newspaper, under the headline ‘Botman only wants Milan’, it seems any hope of reaching a deal soon is wide of the mark.

Michael Carrick has revealed Newcastle tried to sign him when Sir Bobby Robson was in charge. A stellar career for the Wallsend-born midfielder saw Carrick win five Premier League titles and the Champions League but he never represented his boyhood club.
