Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven is reportedly open to a potential transfer to Liverpool, as interest in the Dutch international continues to grow in the transfer market. According to CaughtOffside, the Reds have received encouraging signals regarding the player’s willingness to consider a move to Anfield.
Liverpool have identified Van de Ven as a priority defensive target, with the club’s hierarchy closely monitoring his situation at Spurs. The 24-year-old is said to be assessing his future in North London, opening the door to a possible summer exit.
Liverpool Interest Dates Back to Wolfsburg Days
Sources indicate that Liverpool’s interest in Van de Ven is not recent. The club has followed his progress since his time at Wolfsburg, where his performances in the Bundesliga first caught the attention of top European scouts.
With Virgil van Dijk approaching the latter stages of his career, Van de Ven is viewed internally as a long-term successor in Liverpool’s defensive line.
Why Van de Ven Fits Liverpool’s Profile
Van de Ven stands out for his physical and technical attributes. At 1.97 meters tall, he offers strong aerial presence, while his exceptional pace allows him to defend high lines—an essential quality for Liverpool’s tactical setup.
In addition to playing as a center-back, the Dutch defender is also comfortable at left-back, adding tactical versatility and increasing his value in the transfer market.
Strong Competition for the Defender
Liverpool are not alone in the race. Van de Ven has also been linked with Barcelona, Real Madrid, and continued interest from top Premier League sides. This growing competition could force Liverpool to accelerate negotiations if they wish to secure the player’s signature.
Contract Situation and Market Value
According to TEAMtalk, Van de Ven is currently not planning to renew his contract with Tottenham, a development that has further fueled speculation among interested clubs.
Despite this, the defender remains under contract with Spurs until June 2029, giving Tottenham a strong negotiating position. His current market value is estimated at €65 million, reflecting his importance and rising status in European football.
