Wolfsburg manager Niko Kovac has previously stated big clubs will "certainly" monitor defender Micky van de Ven amid reports linking him with a move to Liverpool.
German news outlet WAZ has reported that the 22-year-old Dutchman is a candidate for the Reds recruitment staff. New Liverpool sporting director Jorg Schmadtke enjoyed a spell at the Volkswagen Arena and outlets are joining the dots suggesting he may go for the youngster.
The Reds were previously linked with a move for RB Leipzig defender Josko Gvardiol but it has been claimed that the price-tag for the Croatian is too high with Die Wolves centre-back acting as an alternative.
