Micky van de Ven has reportedly caught the attention of Real Madrid as the summer transfer window approaches. The Sunday Mirror has revealed that Los Blancos are keen on acquiring the Dutch defender and are preparing to make a substantial offer. With three years remaining on his contract at Tottenham, Van de Ven’s transfer fee could reach a minimum of £75 million. While it’s uncertain if Spurs are willing to part with the player, Roberto De Zerbi, who has previously praised Van de Ven as the best in his position in the Premier League, is known to admire him. However, Real Madrid manager José Mourinho is prioritizing a new centre-half this summer, and Van de Ven has emerged as a potential target. Despite Van de Ven’s current commitment to Tottenham, his agent has previously encouraged interest from Real Madrid.
Van de Ven’s agent said: “Micky also has the quality to play for a big club like Real Madrid someday. Besides, Madrid needs a defender with his characteristics.”
Fortes added: “For my players, effort is non-negotiable. I wasn’t a great footballer, but that’s why I know how to help them. Micky has this quality; he’s a born worker.”
The 25-year-old Micky van de Ven said: “Really confident. I think we have the right people now here. The right manager. So yeah, I’m confident we can do more next year because obviously, as you said, two years in a row we end up 17th, it was unacceptable, especially for a club like Spurs.”
Van de Ven’s potential move to Real Madrid could be a significant transfer story this summer, especially given his agent’s previous comments to Spanish outlet Marca, where he endorsed a future move to the Spanish giants. Meanwhile, Van de Ven has been vocal about his confidence in Tottenham’s current setup, expressing optimism for the club’s future under the right management. His praise for Roberto De Zerbi, who joined Spurs during a challenging period, highlights the manager’s positive influence on the squad. As the transfer window looms, Tottenham fans will be watching closely to see if Van de Ven remains in North London or makes a high-profile move to Real Madrid.
