Tottenham to demand £115m for Micky van de Ven as Barcelona and Liverpool show interest

Tottenham Hotspur are braced for bids for Micky van de Ven, with Barcelona and Liverpool among the interested clubs. Spurs have set a £115 million asking price to deter suitors, protecting a player central to their long-term project under new manager Roberto De Zerbi. The 25-year-old Dutch defender has three years left on his contract, though talks over a new deal have stalled. Van de Ven has become one of Europe’s most highly regarded centre-backs since joining Spurs, drawing praise from Toby Alderweireld.

Barcelona and Liverpool are expected to test the market later in the window, but any sale would reshape the defender market.
