Manchester United have entered the race to sign Micky van de Ven alongside a few notable rivals, as Tottenham fear for the Dutchman’s future.
According to TEAMtalk, Tottenham are sweating over the futures of some of their key stars, including Micky van de Ven. Manchester United have entered the race to sign the Dutch defender ahead of the summer, with Liverpool and Real Madrid also keen.
Tottenham are in disarray, and their remaining Premier League fixtures paint a grim picture. There is a real chance Spurs could suffer relegation, especially if they continue to fail to win games and their nearest rivals manage to do well.
Even if they manage to survive the relegation battle, the lack of UEFA Champions League football, or even European football, could turn the heads of some of their key stars. Centre-back pair Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven are already being linked with exits, with losing the latter a particular source of concern for Tottenham.
Reports have already suggested contract talks with van de Ven have stalled, which points towards a potential switch in the summer. Tottenham are widely expected to demand a significant fee for the 24-year-old speedster, but clubs are willing to pay big money to secure his signature.
Micky van de Ven could leave without Champions League football, and Manchester United are the latest to enter the race to sign the 24-year-old Tottenham defender. The Red Devils are ready to invest heavily in their squad in the summer window, as they view the Dutchman as a strategic addition to their long-term defensive planning.
Will van de Ven leave Tottenham?
Manchester United are not the only team in the mix, as Liverpool view Micky van de Ven as a replacement for Ibrahima Konate. The Merseysiders have long admired the 24-year-old Tottenham speedster as a potential option for their backline, and could be willing to put significant money on the table to test the waters.
Real Madrid are also thought to be in the race, and they could move to the front of the queue if they approach. The Spanish giants are looking for defensive signings too, with the race to sign van de Ven heating up in a big way as Spurs remain concerned.
