Liverpool are not currently targeting Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven as a potential replacement for Ibrahima Konate, says journalist Ben Jacobs.However, despite the low possibility of a move this summer, the Reds could reportedly have an eye on the Spurs stopper for 2027.Liverpool may need to sign a new centre-back in the coming months after failing to agree a new contract with Ibrahima Konate, but according to Jacobs, they may also keep faith in their current options and wait and see what happens with Van de Ven.
