Liverpool find out how much they will have to pay to sign ‘Rolls-Royce’ Tottenham star – report
Tottenham star Micky van de Ven is a man in high demand, with several clubs vying for his signature.
The Dutch defender has been an incredible signing for Spurs, attracting interest from several big clubs including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
However, Spurs exacted a huge price on their defensive stalwart to fend off interest.
Tottenham slap €100m price tag on Micky van de Ven
Tottenham imposed a valuation of 100 million euros on their star defender.
This staggering valuation, which would likely set a new world record for a defender, is seen by Spurs as an “obstacle” to demonstrate how much they value the Dutchman’s “continued presence at the club”, according to a report from Spanish media outlet Fichajes.
The club considers him strategically important and “won’t let him leave without a record transfer.”
The centre-back, who has been instrumental in Tottenham’s form, has already attracted the attention of the European giants, with Real Madrid eyeing the 24-year-old as a key alternative to bolster their defense in the next cycle.
The report further confirms that Real Madrid are not alone, with Liverpool and Bayern Munich also ‘monitoring the situation closely’.
The Dutch centre-back’s current contract at Spurs does not expire until 2029, but Spurs are hoping to reward the defender with a new contract.
Micky van de Ven has been a fantastic signing for Tottenham
Since joining Tottenham, Van de Ven has been a revelation, forming a formidable partnership with Cristian Romero at the heart of defence.
Under the guidance of Thomas Frank, the ‘Rolls-Royce’ defender has raised his game further, helping Spurs boast the second-best defensive record in the Premier League, conceding just seven goals so far this season.
Beyond his defensive solidity, Van de Ven has also established himself as a surprise attacking threat, scoring five goals in 11 appearances in all competitions – an impressive total for a centre-back.
Tottenham view the Netherlands international as a crucial part of their long-term project and, although interest continues to grow, it would take a monumental offer to entice them to sell their defensive star.
