Is Toto Wolff pushing Bottas out the door?

Now that the drivers are fixed for 2021 at Ferrari, the focus of the silly season shifts to Renault and Mercedes. These are the most interesting teams where a spot is left over or contracts expire. Valtteri Bottas plays a crucial role in this.
His contract expires at the end of this season, as in previous years. So the Finn looks forward to another exciting summer and this time he hasn't even been able to prove himself on the track. And the press is also saying that Toto Wolff would rather get rid of you.
That's the opinion of the French magazine Autohebdo. According to their information, Wolff, who in the past was also the manager of Bottas, would prefer to see his driver leave for Renault. In this way space is made available for George Russell and they have more time to conclude negotiations with Lewis Hamilton.
However, for the time being Fernando Alonso seems to have the best papers to take over Daniel Ricciardo's seat. However, according to the French, it speaks in favor of Bottas that he is less temperamental, which will reduce problems with teammate Esteban Ocon.
