The website "CaughtOffside" revealed that Tottenham Hotspur is close to renewing the contract of their Dutch defender, Mickey van de Ven, amid growing interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid in acquiring him in the near future.

Mickey van de Ven has joined the list of top defenders in the Premier League since his transfer to Tottenham from Wolfsburg in 2023. He is known for his speed and ability to regain defensive positions, and he has become a key partner for Argentine defender Cristian Romero.

The site indicated that Liverpool is closely monitoring the player as a potential option to replace the possible departure of Ibrahima Konaté, while Real Madrid is keeping an eye on the young defender as part of its long-term plans to succeed players like David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger.

The same source mentioned that Tottenham began negotiations to renew Mickey van de Ven's contract since the summer, and that the player is happy with his stability at the club and wants to stay, especially after Romero's influence on his decision. He is expected to receive financial terms similar to those of his Argentine teammate.

Tottenham plans to expedite negotiations in the coming weeks to secure the future of Mickey van de Ven before the offers from competing clubs become clear, with the club ready to offer a long-term contract that would place him among the highest earners in the team.
