The latest news from Real Madrid points to an offer of 70 million euros to Tottenham for Micky van de Ven, a 25-year-old Dutch center-back. The operation has been on track since last Saturday, but the English club will not give their final authorization until they secure a replacement.

José Mourinho has backed the deal because he believes Van de Ven can fulfill a specific need in his defense. His speed in covering spaces and his ability to anticipate align with the profile requested by the coach for the 2026-2027 season.

Real Madrid awaits Tottenham's green light

The agreement remains pending a decision from Tottenham. The London club is reluctant to let go of the center-back without having a replacement ready to take his place in Roberto De Zerbi's squad.

Micky van de Ven's contract with the English club runs until June 30, 2029. This contract allows Tottenham to stand firm, explaining why the 70 million euros offered by the white team have not yet resulted in an announcement.

The Dutch player arrived in London in August 2023 from Wolfsburg. Tottenham initially paid around 40 million euros, so accepting Real Madrid's proposal would mean a profit of close to 30 million euros after three seasons.

Discussions between the clubs reportedly progressed last Saturday. However, neither entity has announced an official agreement, and the player continues to participate in the London team's preparations for the start of the Premier League.

Micky van de Ven fits the profile requested by Mourinho

José Mourinho values Van de Ven's ability to defend far from the penalty area. The center-back has reached a top speed of 37.38 kilometers per hour, one of the highest recorded in the Premier League.

This speed enables the defender to intervene when the team loses possession with many players forward. Additionally, he can play as a left center-back, a specific position within Real Madrid's defensive planning.

Van de Ven stands at 1.93 meters tall and is a full international with the Netherlands. Besides his usual center-back position, during his time at Wolfsburg, he also played games as a left-back, enhancing his versatility within the squad.

The Portuguese coach believes the player can complement the available center-backs due to his ability to run toward his own goal. Real Madrid maintains its request to add another defender before the market closes.

The operation is also contingent on potential departures. Raúl Asencio is among the candidates to leave the squad, although his situation could alter the timelines set by the sports management.

A replacement will unlock the transfer

Tottenham has bolstered its defense this summer but still seeks a specific alternative before allowing the Dutchman's departure. The arrival of this replacement is the condition keeping the final signature on hold.

Van de Ven, on the other hand, recently expressed satisfaction with the changes made by Tottenham and De Zerbi's arrival. This statement requires caution regarding a definitive personal agreement, though negotiations between the clubs can continue.

The next step depends on the English team's market. Once Tottenham secures the chosen replacement, Real Madrid expects to receive authorization to complete Micky van de Ven's transfer for 70 million euros and proceed with the medical examination and contract signing.
