Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in signing Spurs defender Micky van de Ven, with Liverpool considering him as a long-term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman recently revealed that talks are yet to take place over a possible extension to his Liverpool contract, which expires at the end of the season, but could Liverpool still extend van Dijk’s terms?

A report from Caught Offside states that Liverpool and United are both “keeping van de Ven under close observation”, but his contract situation makes it likely to be very expensive to sign him. “Recent reports have described him as a player Liverpool have admired for some time.

The deal extends his stay beyond his previous 2029 agreement, with Dutch reports placing the new expiry date in 2031.” Jeremy Jacquet is the future of Liverpool’s defence When Liverpool signed Jacquet in January, with the signing deferred to this summer, it surprised many to learn Rennes charged the Reds £60m for his signature. However, having won the Premier League Player of the Month after just a handful of games for Liverpool, it seems as though Liverpool have signed a mega-star.
