What to read next Tottenham Hotspur served with new financial bombshell: report Tottenham star Guglielmo Vicario agrees exit, with relegation fight still ongoing: report Tottenham report: Roberto De Zerbi may be prevented from signing former star by 'sporting malaise' "The other day when we read that one guy told the rest of the team that he doesn't care because he's leaving anyway - its just made up. And the fans will believe it. Its just frustrating for us guys," Van de Ven said in a recent interview.However, developments in the player's personal life indicate there is an expectation he will no longer be plying his trade at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium beyond July.Van de Ven is represented by one of the most powerful agencies in world football, Team Raiola, founded by the late super-agent Mino Raiola, and is one of the organisation's premium clients. He has been linked with moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Liverpool among others, but remains contracted to Spurs until 2029.Given he has three years left to run on his current deal, Spurs are likely to command a significant fee if Van de Ven is sold in the summer and the club remain a Premier League entity.In the event of relegation, though, Van de Ven's price tag may plummet, and is heavily dependent on Spurs' negotiating power.There is also the possibility a move for the Dutchman would be more appealing to interested clubs in this scenario, as they could take the player on a 'try-before-you-buy' loan deal, covering his Spurs wages whilst the club cut costs in the Championship.TOPICSMicky van de VenTottenham HotspurPremier LeagueJoe DonnohueSocial Links NavigationSenior Digital WriterJoe joined FourFourTwo as senior digital writer in July 2025 after five years covering Leeds United in the Championship and Premier League.
