The center-back that is driving Real Madrid crazy

Real Madrid is focused on strengthening its defense for the upcoming seasons, and one of the names gaining strength in their plans is Micky Van der Ven. The young center-back from Tottenham Hotspur, known for his imposing physicality and speed, has caught the attention of the white club's scouts, who are looking for an ideal partner for Eder Militao in the center of the defense.

Standing at 1.93 meters tall and at just 23 years old, Van der Ven is considered one of the fastest defenders in the Premier League, a quality noted by Juni Calafat and his scouting team, as reported by 'DefensaCentral'. Despite the Dutch player being under contract with Tottenham until 2029 and his market value around 55 million euros, Real Madrid is closely monitoring his progress. However, Florentino Pérez and the board know that negotiating with Tottenham's president, Daniel Levy, will not be an easy task.

Strong Interest from Real Madrid, Yet with More Alternatives

Despite the interest in Van der Ven, Real Madrid is not in a rush to finalize the signing. The season has just begun, and there is still time to assess the best options for the summer transfer market of 2025. In this regard, the club is exploring various alternatives, including the promising Brazilian center-back Vitor Reis, who might be more economically viable.

The club's goal is to secure a young defender with a long-term contract, ensuring defensive solidity for several seasons. While signing Van der Ven would be ideal, Real Madrid prefers not to rush and take the necessary time to make the best possible decision.
