Netherlands and Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven is wanted by Barcelona and Liverpool, while France and Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise is the next big star in Real Madrid's sights. Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.
TRENDING RUMORS
- Barcelona and Liverpool are knocking on the door for Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven, De Telegraaf reports. The two clubs want to take advantage of an impasse in the 25-year-old's contract talks with Spurs. The Netherlands international, who played the full 90 minutes during the 2-2 draw against Japan, has continued to receive interest despite Tottenham's underwhelming season.
- Real Madrid could offer up to €220 million for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to Marca. The Spanish outlet reports that Los Blancos' €150m offer for Atlético Madrid striker Julián Álvarez was a bluff designed to complicate Barcelona's attempt to sign him, rather than a genuine attempt to bring in the Argentina international. Olise ticks all of Real Madrid's boxes as he already has a partnership with Kylian Mbappé with the France national team, plays on the right and, as a 24-year-old rising star, still has room to develop. A fee of €220m would be just €2m below the world-record amount that Paris Saint-Germain paid to sign Neymar from Barcelona in 2017.
