Tottenham place massive valuation on Micky van de Ven as Real Madrid and Liverpool show interest
Tottenham Hotspur have placed a huge price tag on defender Micky van de Ven amid growing interest from European giants Real Madrid and Liverpool.
The question of who holds the highest market value in Tottenham’s squad is up for debate. While some might argue that Lucas Bergvall’s potential makes him the club’s most valuable asset — with pundits estimating his worth at around £110 million — Spurs already have a proven, world-class player in Van de Ven, whose performances have made him one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe.
According to Fichajes, the race to sign the Dutch centre-back is heating up, with Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich all expressing strong interest. Van de Ven’s commanding displays this season have caught the attention of these top clubs, prompting Tottenham to reportedly place a €100 million (£87.8 million) valuation on him to fend off potential suitors.
The report adds that Tottenham see the 24-year-old as a vital part of their long-term project and have no desire to let him go. The club is said to be working on a new contract for Van de Ven, reinforcing their stance on keeping one of their standout performers.
Recent updates indicate that CEO Vinai Venkatesham is prioritising a new deal for the Dutchman, following the successful contract extensions of Cristian Romero and Rodrigo Bentancur.
Speaking earlier this week, manager Thomas Frank expressed confidence in Van de Ven’s commitment, confirming that the player is settled and happy at Tottenham. His comments suggest that the defender remains fully focused on the club’s ambitions, much to the delight of Spurs supporters.
With elite clubs circling and Tottenham determined to keep hold of their star centre-back, the coming months could prove crucial in securing Van de Ven’s long-term future in north London.
