- Van de Ven joined Spurs in 2023 for £34.5m and had 45 appearances last season.
Tottenham Hotspur is preparing to initiate new contract discussions with their prominent Dutch centre-back, Micky van de Ven. He joined the club in the summer of 2023 from Wolfsburg for a fee of £34.5 million and has since established himself as a leading defender in the Premier League.
Van de Ven made 45 appearances last season, scoring seven goals, and is currently representing the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup. Although his future has been the subject of speculation, including links to Liverpool, Tottenham is determined to keep him. These new contract talks are anticipated to take place after the conclusion of the World Cup.
Meanwhile, Liverpool has been mentioned in connection with Van de Ven, but current reports suggest they have no immediate plans to pursue the Dutch international. With Virgil van Dijk entering the final year of his contract and Joe Gomez's injury history, Liverpool might reconsider their stance on acquiring an established centre-back.
