Tottenham want to offer centre-back Micky van de Ven a new five-year deal, but the Dutch defender doesn't want to enter contract talks, according to Sports Boom.
Van de Ven has been one of the few consistent performers for Spurs over the last few years in what has been an incredibly difficult and unsuccessful period for the north London club.
Tottenham are battling towards the relegation zone in the Premier League for the second campaign in a row, and they are yet to win in 2026.
A host of Tottenham's squad have underperformed, but Van de Ven is one of a few who can hold their head high.
The Dutch centre-back is one of the best defenders in the Premier League, and with Spurs struggling at the moment, a host of clubs will be lining up to prise him away.
Van De Ven Makes Tottenham Contract Decision
According to a report from Sports Boom, Van de Ven has turned down contract talks with Tottenham due to having his head turned by interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
The former Wolfsburg man isn't interested in discussing a new deal with Spurs, despite them being willing to offer him a new five-year contract.
If Van de Ven, described as 'world-class' by former midfielder Jamie O'Hara, does push for an exit in the summer transfer window, it's believed that Spurs will demand a fee in the region of £100m to allow him to depart.
Van de Ven, unfortunately for Tottenham, sees his future away from north London, and with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid showing an interest, it could be an interesting summer window.
Tottenham's Stance Might Depend on One Factor
Unfortunately for Spurs, they now face the serious threat of being relegated from the Premier League this season. They are yet to win in 2026 and currently sit just four points above the drop zone.
If the worst does happen and Igor Tudor's side to drop down to the Championship, there's no doubt their stance on Van de Ven will soften.
Demanding £100m for a player in the Championship won't be easy, so Spurs might have to lower their asking price. There's no doubt the Dutch centre-back willl be pushing for a departure if they are relegated, and it will be incredibly difficult for them to keep him at the club.
