Several Tottenham players have been in the news months ahead of the summer transfer window.
One of them is Cristian Romero, who is ready to sign for Atletico Madrid at the end of the season after attracting interest from Real Madrid as well.
Destiny Udogie is a Manchester City target as the Sky Blues’ incoming sporting director Hugo Viana wishes to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.
Jose Fortes, Micky van de Ven’s agent has now made a fresh claim about his future and Real Madrid as well.
Micky van de Ven’s agent says he’s good enough for Real Madrid
Ryan Gravenberch’s agent would like him to join Real Madrid and he also claimed that Van de Ven has the quality to play for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
Jose Fortes also believes that Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven has the required level of work ethic to be a Real Madrid player in the future.
Fortes told MARCA: “Micky also has the level to one day play for a big club like Real Madrid.”
Van de Ven’s agent added: “For my players, effort is non-negotiable. I wasn’t a good footballer, but that’s why I know how to help them . Micky fits this quality; he’s a born worker. After his injury, he’ll return to a high level, on par with any big club.”
The worry for Tottenham about Micky van de Ven’s future
The Dutchman is one of the best defenders in the Premier League and at 23, his ceiling is sky-high.
The £34 million (Sky Sports) man’s blend of searing pace, smart reading of the game and incredible physicality makes him a complete centre-back.
The fear for Tottenham would be that as Van de Ven continues to progress, perhaps Real Madrid would come calling and back themselves to snap him up as his agent’s target seems to be to ensure his client moves to the Spanish capital.
The Lilywhites colossus’ contract expires in 2029 but perhaps sometime next year, they should do begin negotations about a fresh deal.
