Real Madrid Plans to Make a Defensive Signing in January
The website "Fichajes" revealed that Real Madrid is seriously considering making a major defensive signing in the upcoming winter transfer window, an unusual move for the club, which sees strengthening the defense as an urgent necessity.
According to the website, the name of the Dutchman Micky van de Ven, Tottenham's defender, has strongly entered Real Madrid's plans, amid a shared conviction between the sporting management and coach Xabi Alonso about the necessity of making changes to the squad, especially in the defensive line, which remains surrounded by a lot of uncertainty in the near future.
The same source pointed out that Real Madrid is facing an exceptional winter, as some attacking options have diminished, but the main focus is on the defense, given David Alaba's imminent departure and the uncertainty surrounding Antonio Rüdiger's future after the current season. This is prompting the club to consider taking action early instead of waiting until summer.
The report explained that Micky van de Ven is an ideal choice for Xabi Alonso, as he is a left-back who is quick in coverage, physically strong, and possesses a remarkable ability to build play from the back—qualities that align with the style of play the Spanish coach aims to establish.
The website confirmed that Real Madrid has been monitoring other names for the center-back position recently, but signing Micky van de Ven gives the club the advantage of an immediate deal without waiting for contracts to expire, which increases the chances of completing the transfer in January.
Regarding the financial aspect, the report indicated that Tottenham may ask for around 50 million euros to agree to sell the player, an amount that Real Madrid considers relatively high but justified given the player's age, current level, potential for development, and the likelihood of his value increasing in the future.
The report confirmed that the coming weeks will be crucial, amid a conviction within the halls of Valdebebas of the urgent need to strengthen the defense, with the deal still dependent on Tottenham's stance and their final evaluation of the player's value.
