Chelsea is said to lead the race to sign Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen.
The 20-year-old came to the cherries of Juventus last summer, but has already attracted interest from some European top clubs.
Real Madrid, Arsenal and Liverpool are from the clubs that follow the center-back.
But the independent has claimed that Chelsea are leaders in the transfer race.
Huijsen is now seriously considering a move to Stamford Bridge for the summer window.
The blues are prepared to offer him a package that could be a seven -year -old deal.
But to sign him, they will probably have to match his £ 50 million release clause.
Earlier this month, Huijsen said that he is determined to play at the highest level.
He also revealed that his friend told him to join Real Madrid.
The defender explained: “One of my good friends sent me a story about Real. He said I had to go to Madrid.

“I don't know, we'll see. It's a big team. Every player wants to play at a maximum possible level.
“I have a contract until 2030, I have a clause.”
Regardless of which team will sign him, Bournemouth will make a huge profit at Huijsen.
The Cherries signed him in July for only £ 15 million from Juventus.
