Micky van de Ven is reportedly putting a quiet plan in place to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, with fresh details surfacing about a possible departure, according to FourFourTwo.
Spurs were handed a slight boost in the relegation battle as West Ham United, currently 17th, failed to extend their gap from danger after a goalless draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday night.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side remain two points from safety with five matches left, while Nottingham Forest sit five points further ahead following their 4-1 win over Burnley.
Attention now turns to a crucial clash against already-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium on Saturday — a game Spurs must win to secure their first Premier League victory of 2026. Failure to do so could leave them on the verge of relegation to the Championship.
Regardless of how the season ends, Van de Ven appears intent on moving on. Reports suggest he has already begun organizing his off-field affairs in London, indicating his future may lie away from the club.
Despite staying focused on helping Spurs avoid relegation, the Dutch defender is believed to be planning his exit at the end of the campaign. He could potentially be joined by captain Cristian Romero, who is sidelined for the rest of the season through injury and may have already played his final game for the club.
With Romero unavailable, Spurs will rely heavily on Van de Ven in the remaining fixtures. However, with his contract running until 2029 and the club likely to demand a high fee, a loan move is emerging as a realistic option if relegation occurs.
Such a deal would ease wage pressures while preserving his long-term value, potentially allowing Spurs to command a higher transfer fee in the future.
Interest in the defender is already building, with clubs such as Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Barcelona all reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the summer window.
