Liverpool have a strong interest in Tottenham Hotspur center-back Micky van de Ven, as reported by Football Insider. The Reds are determined to reinforce their defense, regardless of Virgil van Dijk’s contract situation, which is set to expire at the end of the season. They view the 23-year-old as a top-tier, Champions League-caliber defender who could form a solid partnership with Ibrahima Konaté.
Barcelona remain interested in Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, according to AS, which notes that the Blaugrana had their eye on the Swedish forward as far back as 2020. The 25-year-old is among sporting director Deco’s top choices to bolster Barca’s attack in the near future. However, any potential move would likely depend on Robert Lewandowski’s departure, which, at this stage, appears unlikely

AC Milan midfielder Tijjani Reijnders has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Manchester City and Real Madrid, reports Calciomercato. However, it remains uncertain whether a €60m bid would be enough to persuade the Rossoneri, who are also focused on the future of Chelsea loanee João Félix. Milan are prepared to extend the 26-year-old Reijnders’ contract for another four years at €3.5m net per season plus bonuses. Meanwhile, Gazzetta Dello Sport notes that Milan hope to renew Félix’s loan this summer with a mandatory purchase clause of around €40m. To finance the move, the club could consider selling Theo Hernández, whose contract expires in 2026, while parting ways with Rafael Leão is also a possibility.

Liverpool are among the interested sides, while Manchester City have previously shown interest in the 21-year-old attacking midfielder. Leipzig could be open to his departure if the right offer comes in.
