"Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months. However, the north London outfit is looking to tie him down to a new long-term deal. The club has already held initial talks with the player's representatives over the summer, and they have made it their top priority to keep him at the club long term. The new deal would see the 24-year-old Netherlands international's salary doubled, with him earning similar wages to those of Cristian Romero and Conor Gallagher."
"However, TEAMtalk reports that Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing the defender. They would have to pay around 100 million in order to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay that kind of money for the defender. Liverpool needs more quality in the defensive unit. Ibrahima Konate will be a free agent at the end of the season, and Liverpool has not been able to secure an extension with him. They need to replace him, and the Netherlands International would be ideal. He has shown his quality in the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact."
"Van de Ven is one of the fastest players in the league, and he could be ideal for Liverpool's high line.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are looking to improve defensively as well."
Tottenham Hotspur have made securing Micky van de Ven a top priority and held initial talks with his representatives over the summer to agree a new long-term contract. The proposed deal would double the 24-year-old Netherlands international's salary to match teammates such as Cristian Romero and Conor Gallagher. Liverpool and Manchester United are reported to be interested, with clubs potentially needing around £100 million to sign him. Liverpool face defensive recruitment needs with Ibrahima Konaté nearing free agency. Van de Ven's Premier League pace and ability to play a high line make him an attractive immediate option for top clubs.
