An unexpected player could join Liverpool, becoming their first signing

After the difficult season endured by Liverpool, it is essential to bring in new players to refresh the team under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp. An unexpected name could be close to arriving at Anfield, and in the last few hours, rumors of Liverpool's interest in a new defender have increased.

The player in question is Dutch defender Micky Van de Ven, a 22-year-old currently playing for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga. He is a young player who has shown quality and character in the defensive zone, with impressive defensive abilities, imposing stature, and solid marking skills.

According to Transfermarkt, Van de Ven has played 36 matches in Germany, 33 of them in the Bundesliga and 3 in the German Cup. The young defender is valued at nearly 40 million EUR, a sum that Liverpool would be willing to pay for the Dutch footballer. Interestingly, Liverpool recently appointed Jorg Schmadtke as their new sporting director, who has close knowledge of the player due to his previous work at Wolfsburg.

Liverpool is competing for this defender and will seek to incorporate the young athlete into their ranks. What is clear is that the English team is in desperate need of defensive reinforcement, as this position revealed the team's major weaknesses during the past Premier League and UEFA Champions League seasons.

He wants to play for Liverpool 

Van de Ven admitted that he is in love with Anfield, as he attended a match between Liverpool and Arsenal during Christmas and fell in love when he heard "You'll Never Walk Alone" being sung. He confessed that it is a dream for him to play there, so there is also interest from the young footballer in joining Liverpool.
