Liverpool are said to be stepping up their interest in Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven, with the Dutch international emerging as a leading target to reinforce their defence. A move to Anfield has been strongly linked as the Reds plan for the future.
Reports suggest Liverpool could be willing to table a sizeable offer, potentially in the region of £78 million, as they search for a long-term solution at the back ahead of the summer window.
Van de Ven’s contract situation adds intrigue to the speculation. Although he remains under contract with Spurs until June 2029, he is believed to have so far declined to agree to an extension.
This stance could place Tottenham in a difficult position and test their determination to keep hold of the defender if major suitors make a move. As Mail journalist Matt Barlow noted, Liverpool’s growing interest in Van de Ven could become a real challenge for Spurs this summer.

Konaté: “Success Will Come” Despite the uncertainty, Konaté remains optimistic. Speaking in a recent interview, the French centre-back emphasized that this phase is part of a bigger journey. According to him, Liverpool are still adapting — especially with new players settling into the squad. He believes that with time, chemistry will improve and trophies will follow. 🏆 He also pointed to last season’s success as proof that the team has what it takes to bounce back stronger. 🤝 A Call for Unity More than anything, Konaté stressed the importance of togetherness between the team and its supporters. He praised the Anfield faithful and urged everyone to stay united, insisting that better days are ahead if patience is maintained. ❤️ Interestingly, his comments come at a time when his own future at the club remains uncertain, with his contract situation yet to be resolved heading into the summer. 🔍 What Happens Next? Liverpool’s season is now entering a defining period. Results must improve, injuries need to clear, and stability must return — both on and off the pitch. But if Konaté’s words are anything to go by, belief inside the squad is still very much alive. And sometimes… that’s all it takes before everything turns around. 👀🔥

The possible transfer also links back to Liverpool head coach Arne Slot, who previously attempted to sign Van de Ven during his coaching spell in the Netherlands.
