A Spanish rumour claims that Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven wants to sign with Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. TEAMtalk provides the most recent information on the Dutch star’s circumstances.
Real Madrid is looking at players from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool in their quest for a new defender. Los Blancos have long been interested in Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate, and they have also shown interest in Spurs centre-back Van de Ven. On February 23, 2026, Graeme Bailey, TEAMtalk’s transfer insider, said that negotiations between Van de Ven and Tottenham over a new deal have been postponed until the summer.
Tottenham’s survival in the Premier League is now the top concern for the north London team, as they are seriously threatened with relegation to the Championship. The 24-year-old center defender for the Netherlands, who signed a deal with Tottenham in the summer of 2023, will remain with the north London team until 2029.

According to sources, Madrid is aware of Van de Ven’s present contract position and is monitoring his circumstances. According to Defensa Central, Van de Ven is “waiting for a call from Real Madrid.”
Van de Ven does not want to extend his contract at Tottenham because he wants to transfer to Madrid, according to the Real Madrid-focused news site. Despite having a sizable social media following, Defensa Central frequently publishes speculative news.
Every report from the news source should be regarded with caution. Although Van de Ven may want to join Real Madrid, other teams are also interested in him. According to Fraser Fletcher, our transfer correspondent, Van de Ven is attracting attention from Manchester United and Liverpool.
The 24-year-old is open to leaving Spurs during the summer transfer window, according to our sources. According to what we know, Tottenham values Van de Van at £100 million, or €114 million or $134.5 million.
