Newcastle United has announced the signing of Dutch defender Sven Botman on a new contract that ties him to the club until the summer of 2030, a move that reflects the management's great confidence in the player's capabilities and his pivotal role in the team's project.

Extending Botman's contract has been one of the top priorities for Sporting Director Ross Wilson since assuming his position, as he has worked to secure the continuity of key players within the team, foremost among them the Dutch defender who is considered a cornerstone of the back line.

Botman, who joined Newcastle from French club Lille several seasons ago, has delivered consistent and strong performances since his arrival, contributing to strengthening the team's defensive solidity in the English Premier League.

This renewal comes as part of Newcastle's policy aimed at retaining its stars and building a stable and ambitious team in the long term, as the club seeks to continue competing domestically and in Europe in the upcoming seasons.
