Tottenham are looking to hand Micky van de Ven a bumper new deal to keep European giants at bay.
Micky van de Ven has only gone from strength to strength since joining Tottenham from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2023. Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but the Dutch international is also widely regarded as one of the best young defenders in the world.
Multiple clubs keen on Van de Ven
According to a report from TBR, the North London club have internally discussed the possibility of handing Van de Ven a significant pay hike. They are ready to offer him a new lucrative deal to secure his long-term future and stop other top clubs from trying to sign him.
The 24-year-old centre-back has formed a reliable partnership with Cristian Romero, and Spurs want him to be an important part of their long-term plans. Having already secured the future of the Argentine international, they are hoping to strike a deal with the Dutch international, who has been linked with the likes of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Spurs ready to double Micky van de Ven wages
While his current deal runs until the summer of 2029, the former Wolfsburg defender earns just £50,000-per-week, which is certainly way below his market value. Spurs want to reward him for his performances and, at the same time, secure his future.
They are willing to offer him a new deal that will more than double his wages. The new deal will see him earn in excess of £100,000-per-week. With European giants lurking in the background, a contract renewal will ensure Van de Ven continues to be a part of their project under Thomas Frank.
Vinai Venkatesham, who has been recently appointed as their new CEO following the departure of Daniel Levy, is all set to open talks with the Dutch international about the prospect of a bumper new deal. It will be interesting to see if they manage to agree terms with the 24-year-old in the coming months.
