Real Madrid target Tottenham’s Van de Ven and Porro as transfer rumours swirl

Real Madrid are reported to be pursuing Tottenham centre‑back Micky van de Ven, with manager Jose Mourinho naming the 25‑year‑old as a priority signing. The Dutch defender, valued at over £75 million, has impressed under Roberto De Zerbi and is credited with helping Spurs avoid relegation.

Tottenham, however, have made it clear that right‑back Pedro Porro is not for sale. Coach De Zerbi considers the Spanish international a key part of his rebuilding plan, despite interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City. The club is focused on retaining its defensive core as it reshapes the squad for the new season.
