Real Madrid is reportedly planning an early move to strengthen its backline next summer, with Dutch center-back Micky van de Ven emerging as one of the club’s top defensive targets. 👑⚽

According to TEAMtalk, Los Blancos have been monitoring the 24-year-old closely and are impressed by his consistent performances and ability to combine defensive solidity with technical build-up play — a key trait in Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical system.

Van de Ven, who joined Tottenham Hotspur from Wolfsburg in 2023 for £43 million, is under contract with the London club until June 2029, but his impressive form has already caught the attention of Europe’s elite clubs, led by Real Madrid.

This season, the Dutch international has played 13 matches, scoring five goals — three in the Premier League, one in the Champions League, and another in the UEFA Super Cup. He also stole the spotlight in Matchweek 9 by scoring twice against Everton. 💪🇳🇱

Since joining Spurs, van de Ven has made 64 appearances, scoring eight goals and providing two assists, cementing his reputation as one of the most promising defenders in the Premier League.

Real Madrid reportedly views him as a long-term successor for some of the team’s aging defenders, fitting perfectly into the club’s strategy of blending world-class experience with emerging European talent. 🏆✨
