Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven has admitted he “could consider” a move to Liverpool this summer if a deal was proposed.
The youngster has been speaking to Voetbal International while on international duty with the Netherlands after something of a breakout season for him.
He was a regular for Wolfsburg this season, making 33 appearances in the Bundesliga and featuring in 97% of the available minutes in the first team.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several sides reported to be keeping an eye on the 22-year-old ahead of a possible move for him.
Liverpool are one of them, with the Reds reportedly keen to add to their defence this summer and find a young player to develop alongside Virgil van Dijk.
Van de Ven has been named as a potential option thanks to the arrival of new director of football Jörg Schmadtke, who has strong connections with Wolfsburg after working there for several years earlier in his career.
VI have brought the subject up again in a conversation with the youngster, and he once again confirmed he’s aware of the rumours.
“Of course, I have heard, read that too. But as I said: the media must also have something to write about,” he said.
“There are of course a lot of people who make lines. It is true that the director went there, and I know that Liverpool followed me before. But at the moment I don’t know about anything. Whether I think Liverpool is a nice club? Of course!
“If a nice club comes along that has a clear plan with me, I could consider a move. Then in that sense you are open to it.
“There’s a chance I’ll just play in the Bundesliga after this summer, but there’s also a chance I’ll make a transfer. We’ll see. Just finish this season first.”
