Barcelona are reportedly increasing their efforts to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s Micky van de Ven, as Hansi Flick looks to secure a top-level, left-footed centre-back this summer. According to a report from Spanish outlet SPORT, the Dutch international is considered a primary alternative to Inter Milan’s Alessandro Bastoni, as a deal for Bastoni is difficult due to his cost and Inter’s reluctance to sell. The report states that Barcelona's sports management has been tracking Van de Ven for months, but interest has intensified due to the club’s current crisis. With Spurs in 16th place and winless in 2026, the 24-year-old is said to be looking to leave the club this summer. The report also suggests that Van de Ven is highly questioned by sections of the London team’s supporters and that an early departure is increasingly likely, as the club is at risk of relegation. Van de Ven has reportedly prioritised Barcelona over other interested clubs, including Real Madrid.

According to Diario Sport, FC Barcelona has increased its efforts to sign Micky van de Ven from Tottenham Hotspur. The report states the player seems willing to leave Tottenham and might favor a transfer to Barcelona over other clubs. Barcelona scouts are observing him, and his market value is estimated at 65 million euros, although he could be available for a slightly lower price.

According to Sports Boom, Van de Ven has become interested due to attention from Real Madrid and Barcelona. The report claims the 24-year-old defender has decided that he will not sign a new contract with Tottenham and adds that Van de Ven has turned down contract talks with the club.

Micky van de Ven has been associated with FC Barcelona, but it is considered extremely unlikely that the club will act due to the sum demanded by Tottenham.
