Real Madrid Eyes Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven as a Key Target to Bolster Defensive Strength and Depth. He will be a direct replacement for Eder Militao

Real Madrid is aiming to recruit Tottenham star Micky van de Ven to strengthen its defense.

Real Madrid’s strategy in the transfer market often focuses mainly on strengthening their attacking options, as evidenced by their purchases of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick. However, there is still a significant gap in their defensive squad, especially with key players like Eder Militao and David Alaba sidelined due to injury.

The absence of new signings in defense has led to poor defensive performance this season. Real have conceded 29 goals in 26 matches, and this is a clear area that needs improvement.

According to recent information from TeamTalk, Real Madrid is currently shifting its focus to strengthening the backline.

The traditionally rich Spanish team is said to have put Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven on their list of potential transfer targets in January. The Dutch international, who joined Spurs in 2023 from Wolfsburg, has quickly quickly became a key player in Ange Postecoglou’s defense system.

According to TeamTalk, the Spanish champions have compiled a list of potential defenders and Micky van de Ven has been identified as the top priority target of the Spanish royal team in January 2025. The 23-year-old Dutch defender is considered a perfect addition to the Real Madrid squad, and he will be a direct replacement for Eder Militao.
