Liverpool are in a situation where Ibrahima Konaté is heading towards contract expiration, Virgil van Dijk turns 35 in July and Manchester City have snatched Marc Guehi, the England international who had half his body at Anfield this summer. Several centre-backs have been linked to Liverpool, but now there are reports of a very exciting move from the Reds.
Micky van de Ven, aside from sending Alexander Isak out on an extended injury break after the tackle in December, is a “James Milner” type on the pitch. Rock tough, tackle-expert, has the eye, very skilled at positioning himself and is an “incurable” all-in winner. What Ban de Ven also brings is an extreme speed in the return run – but not least forward on the track.

The Dutchman has been behind incredible goals that qualify for goals of the season, where the center back takes the ball from his own area – and does not stop until he has put it in the opponents’ goal. An assault weapon in itself!
According to Teamtalk’s sources, Liverpool’s interest in the Tottenham player is strong, with the reigning Premier League champions planning a bid of up to £78 million for Van de Ven this summer.
Van De Ven has become one of the Premier League’s best defenders since joining Tottenham from Wolfsburg in August 2023. The centre-back is the fastest player in Premier League history, with an extraordinary speed of 37.38 km/h in January 2024.
