Manchester United and Liverpool to compete for Van de Ven
Manchester United and Liverpool are reportedly set to battle for the signature of Tottenham Hotspur center-back Micky van de Ven during the upcoming summer transfer window. United views the Dutch international as ideal competition for Lisandro Martinez, while Liverpool sees him as a long-term partner for his national teammate Virgil van Dijk. Although Tottenham is reluctant to sell, the lack of European football could force the club to consider offers significantly higher than the €40 million they originally paid for the defender.
Manchester United and Liverpool are preparing to engage in a serious battle for Tottenham Hotspur center-back Micky van de Ven during the summer transfer window. Despite the London club's disappointing performance this season, the Dutch player's reputation continues to grow, making him a primary target for both teams. This was reported by Goal.com.
Manchester United management is seeking a high-quality left-footed defender to provide competition for Lisandro Martinez. The 25-year-old’s exceptional speed and technical skills have significantly impressed scouts at Old Trafford. According to the source, the "Red Devils" are prepared to spend a substantial amount on this transfer, regardless of Tottenham's final position in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Liverpool views Van de Ven as a long-term successor to Ibrahima Konate and a potential partner for Virgil van Dijk. The opportunity to play at the same club as his national team captain could be a key factor for the player. His speed records set in the Premier League have confirmed his suitability for playing in a high defensive line.
While Tottenham will attempt to retain their star, missing out on European competitions and financial issues may force the management to consider offers. It is estimated that the transfer fee will be significantly higher than the 40 million euros paid to Wolfsburg in 2023.
