"Ibrahima Konate is nearing the end of his contract with Liverpool, and the Athletic recently reported of no breakthrough in talks to get him to extend his deal. If Konate ends up leaving on a free, it will likely require big money to replace him, so Van de Ven could be just the kind of signing they need.

"Micky van de Ven the new Virgil van Dijk? Liverpool notably spent what looked like huge money at the time when they brought in Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018. The Netherlands international has gone on to look like a bit of a bargain for that price, as he's become a club legend and is still going strong for Arne Slot's side even at the age of 34."
Liverpool are preparing a bid of up to £100m for Tottenham central defender Micky van de Ven to strengthen their centre-back options. Ibrahima Konate is nearing the end of his contract with Liverpool, and extension talks have stalled, which could force Liverpool to spend big to replace him if he leaves on a free. Van de Ven, aged 24, would represent an elite, long-term option comparable to the investment made for Virgil van Dijk. Tottenham's contract with Van de Ven runs until 2029, placing Spurs in a strong negotiating position likely to demand an enormous fee.
