Liverpool Target Tottenham Defender Micky van de Ven
Liverpool are said to be monitoring Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven as they consider reinforcements at the back.
The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League’s standout defenders and is a vital figure in Spurs’ lineup. With a contract running until 2029, Tottenham are expected to demand a hefty fee. Reports from Fichajes claim Liverpool want to move swiftly to avoid drawn-out talks and are prepared to bid around €90 million (£78m) to test Spurs’ resolve.
Van de Ven Tempted by Fresh Challenge
Van de Ven is reportedly open to taking on a new challenge, and a switch to Anfield would represent a major step forward in his career. The Dutch international would join an elite squad with regular trophy ambitions, while Liverpool view him as a potential long-term successor to compatriot Virgil van Dijk.
While a deal is far from certain, Liverpool are determined to bolster their defence, and landing one of the league’s top performers would be a significant statement.
Potential Blow for Spurs
The defender’s consistent high-level displays mean he could immediately enhance Liverpool’s title push, having already adapted seamlessly to Premier League football.
For Tottenham, however, losing such an influential player—especially to a direct rival—could raise questions about their ambitions. Spurs are pushing to compete among Europe’s best and retaining key stars like van de Ven is seen as crucial to that objective.
