Reports Say Van de Ven Favors Liverpool as Man United Weigh Move for Tottenham Defender

A Liverpool lean could steer the market and test Tottenham’s £60–80m resolve.

Overview

  • Multiple reports, which surfaced Thursday, say Micky van de Ven would choose Liverpool over Manchester United if both submit offers.
  • Both clubs are reported to be considering big-money bids for the 25-year-old left-footed centre-back.
  • Van de Ven has rejected a new Tottenham contract and is open to a summer exit, according to Football Insider–linked coverage.
  • Tottenham’s reported £60m–£80m valuation could drop if the club are relegated, a scenario outlets say would weaken their leverage.
  • Spurs are lining up Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke as part of a backline overhaul, with Chelsea and Liverpool also tracking the Dutch defender.
