Barcelona Target Tottenham Defender Van de Ven

Barcelona is actively pursuing Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky van de Ven as a potential signing this summer, with scouts intensifying their monitoring of the left-sided center back.

According to reports, Barcelona's recruitment strategy continues despite uncertainty around upcoming presidential elections. The club has identified van de Ven as a viable option for their central defense needs, with the sporting department working alongside Hansi Flick.

Van de Ven, who has been on Barcelona's radar for months, fits the profile of a left-footed defender that the club is seeking to complement their squad rebuild, though Alessandro Bastoni remains their preferred choice.
