‘Relaxed’ Tottenham reach verdict on Micky van de Ven’s future amid Liverpool interest

Tottenham Hotspur have decided not to entertain any permanent sale of captain Micky van de Ven despite reported interest from Liverpool and Manchester United. Transfer insider Pete O'Rourke reported that Spurs are completely relaxed about the defender's situation and intend to keep him long-term as part of manager Roberto De Zerbi's plans.

The 25-year-old Netherlands international signed a contract extension in August committing him to the club until 2031, following the departure of Cristian Romero to Atletico Madrid. Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Van de Ven as a long-term successor for Virgil van Dijk, while Manchester United have monitored him to potentially succeed Harry Maguire.
