Liverpool are hoping to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven, and they are prepared to offer €90 million to get the deal done.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Micky van de Ven is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are prepared to break the bank to get the deal done and bring the Tottenham defender to Anfield.
The Premier League champions are planning for the future, and they view the Netherlands international as the ideal replacement for club captain and compatriot Virgil van Dijk. The 24-year-old speedster has shown his quality in the Premier League, and the opportunity to join the champions will be hard to turn down for him.
The Dutchman would get to play alongside top-quality players at Liverpool, and he could form a solid partnership with van Dijk for now. Tottenham are going through a period of rebuilding, and they are unlikely to challenge for league titles or the UEFA Champions League anytime soon. It would be ideal for Micky van de Ven to move on and join a bigger club.
Although Liverpool have not been at their best this season, they have an exceptional squad. If the results do not improve quickly, Arne Slot is likely to be shown the door. Liverpool are likely to bring in a quality manager to replace him, and they could be challenging for major trophies in no Time. The opportunity to join them will be exciting for the Tottenham mainstay.
Meanwhile, the €90 million offer could be hard to turn down for the London club as well. If Spurs miss out on UEFA Champions League qualification next season, they might need to sell to add more quality to the team. The 24-year-old defender could be sacrificed if the right offer is presented.
Van de Ven could be open to the move
Micky van de Ven is reportedly open to taking on a new challenge. It is no surprise that he is exploring potential avenues ahead of the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
The 24-year-old Dutchman has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to play for the biggest teams in the world. The Tottenham mainstay has firmly established himself as one of the best defenders in the league right now, and he deserves to compete at the highest level.
