Press reports revealed Bayern Munich's interest in signing Dutchman Micky van de Ven, Tottenham Hotspur's defender, during the summer of 2026, based on coach Vincent Kompany's desire to strengthen the Bavarian team's backline.

According to the 'Bayern Space' account, specialized in Bayern Munich news on the 'X' platform, Kompany internally evaluates Micky van de Ven as an exceptional player, highly appreciated within the German club.

The same source explained that the chances of completing the deal seem slim, given van de Ven's refusal to leave the English Premier League and move to the German League, even if the offer comes from a club as big as Bayern Munich, in addition to the Bavarian club's inability to meet Tottenham's financial demands.

The report indicated that Tottenham rates the player highly, and the financial resources available to Bayern Munich are currently directed towards extending Upamecano's contract, complicating the possibility of entering serious negotiations regarding Micky van de Ven.

Despite the declining prospects of his move to Bayern Munich, Tottenham faces strong competition from other clubs, as Micky van de Ven is attracting interest from both Liverpool and Real Madrid, who are looking to strengthen the center-back position in the upcoming seasons.

The Dutch defender is one of the standout defenders in the English Premier League due to his great speed and consistent performance, making him one of the strong candidates to play a pivotal role in the summer transfer market of 2026.
