"Liverpool may have already made their first move to sign Micky van de Ven in the summer as Andy Robertson closes in on a sensational move to Tottenham. In what could be a masterstroke of long-term planning, the Reds appear to be using the sale of their veteran left-back to lay the groundwork for a major defensive overhaul under Arne Slot."
"With the Scot entering the final months of his contract and falling behind Milos Kerkez in the pecking order at Anfield, the club is reportedly ready to cash in this January rather than lose him for free. Tottenham, seeking experienced defensive reinforcements, have made a move to secure his signature. To cover Robertson's exit, Liverpool are looking to recall Kostas Tsimikas. The Greek international is currently on loan at AS Roma but has struggled for consistent game time in Serie A."
"According to a trusted insider on X, the clubs have reached a unique understanding: If Liverpool allow Andy Robertson to leave for Spurs in January, they will have an agreement with Spurs for priority talks over Micky van de Ven in the summer. This priority talks' clause would put Liverpool at the front of the queue for the Dutch centre-back, effectively bypassing a bidding war if Tottenham decides to sell."
Liverpool intend to sell veteran left-back Andy Robertson to Tottenham in January as his contract nears its end and Milos Kerkez has moved ahead in the pecking order. Liverpool would recall Kostas Tsimikas from his loan at AS Roma to provide immediate, cost-effective cover at left-back. Tottenham would gain an experienced defensive reinforcement while Liverpool would secure priority talks with Spurs for Micky van de Ven in the summer. The priority talks clause would place Liverpool first in line for the Dutch centre-back and could avoid a bidding war during a planned defensive overhaul under Arne Slot.
