Liverpool have been informed it would take a fee in the region of £100 million to secure the signing of Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven, according to reports from icfootballnews sources.
The Netherlands international, who joined Spurs from VfL Wolfsburg in 2023, has emerged as one of the Premier League’s most highly rated defenders due to his pace, recovery ability and composure on the ball.
His performances have reportedly attracted interest from several top European clubs, with Liverpool among those credited with long-term admiration.
However, Tottenham are understood to be in no rush to sell the Dutchman, who remains under a long-term contract at the north London club. Any potential deal would require a significant bid, with the £100m valuation said to reflect both his importance to the squad and the premium placed on elite centre-backs in the modern market.
Van de Ven has become a key figure in Spurs’ defensive line since arriving from Germany, forming a crucial part of their rebuild under manager Roberto De Zerbi. His ability to play in a high defensive line, combined with exceptional recovery speed, has made him particularly valuable in systems that rely on aggressive pressing and transition defence.
LIVERPOOL’s reported interest comes amid ongoing discussions over defensive reinforcement at Anfield, with the club expected to assess options ahead of upcoming transfer windows. While Virgil van Dijk remains a cornerstone of the side, depth and long-term succession planning are believed to be areas under consideration.
Despite the speculation, there is no indication at this stage that Liverpool have made a formal bid, and Tottenham’s stance remains firm. Recent reports from other outlets have suggested Spurs consider Van de Ven “not for sale” unless an extraordinary offer is made, with the club keen to retain key assets following a period of squad restructuring.
Transfer speculation around the Dutch international has intensified in recent months, but conflicting reports continue to circulate regarding both LIVERPOOL’s level of interest and Tottenham’s willingness to negotiate.
For now, the situation remains one of interest rather than active negotiation, with the £100m figure representing Tottenham’s theoretical valuation rather than a confirmed asking price tied to any ongoing deal.
