Micky van de Ven is plotting a summer exit from Tottenham and has already begun making moves behind the scenes, according to an exclusive from FourFourTwo.

The Dutch international, who has been a standout performer since his arrival in North London, is reportedly preparing to leave the club regardless of whether they manage to secure Premier League survival.

Tottenham currently find themselves sitting at the bottom of the table in the 18th position, winless in 2026, and reeling from a late equaliser in their recent 2-2 draw with Brighton.

While the club remains embroiled in a tense relegation battle, it appears one of their most valuable assets is already looking toward his next chapter.

Micky van de Ven starts winding up off-field affairs

As per FourFourTwo, Micky van de Ven has already begun “tidying up his off-field affairs” in London, a development that typically signals a player is nearing the end of his time in a city.

This private groundwork suggests that the 25-year-old has made a definitive decision about his future, looking to avoid the uncertainty that a potential drop to the Championship would bring.

Cristian Romero is also expected to push for a move to Spain, leaving Spurs facing the prospect of losing their entire first-choice central defensive partnership.

While Van de Ven is contracted until 2029, sources suggest that Tottenham might be forced to sanction a high-profile sale, or even a loan departure, to balance the books if they are relegated.

Van de Ven is no short of suitors

Despite Tottenham’s disastrous season, Van de Ven’s individual stock remains incredibly high.

His recovery pace and defensive authority have made him a primary target for some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Liverpool have been linked with the Dutchman, with many viewing Van de Ven as the ideal successor to Van Dijk, who is expected to leave in 2027.

Barcelona have also been linked with a move for the rapid centre-back while Chelsea have also been urged to sign their London rival’s superstar.

Chelsea have parted ways with Liam Rosenior, and they could look to bring in Xabi Alonso as his replacement.

According to reports from Spain, Alonso has already asked the London club to strengthen their defensive unit by signing Micky van de Ven.

The Dutch international has been excellent for Tottenham, and he could prove to be a superb addition to the Chelsea defensive unit. The Blues have been quite poor at the back, and they need to improve defensively if they want to fight for major trophies once again.

Signing the 25-year-old central defender could be a wise decision. Apart from his defensive qualities, his recovery pace would add a new dimension to the Chelsea side. They would be able to deploy a highline with him in the team. The 25-year-old is quite impressive with his distribution as well, and he will help Chelsea build from the back.

However, signing him will not be easy. Spurs have no intention of letting the player leave. Chelsea might have to make a significant offer to convince them. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea follows up on their interest with an offer in the summer.

Tottenham is fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they could lose key players in the summer if they go down to the Championship.

Van de Ven will not want to compete in the second division of English football next season. He would like to compete at the highest level at the opportunity to join. Chelsea could be an attractive destination for him.

Spurs must secure Premier League safety if they want to hold onto their best players.
