Dean Huijsen has already suggested that he wants to 'write history' with Bournemouth by first representing them in Europe next season.
And that could leave the lovers of the 19-year-old central defender, who is thought to include Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United, considerably disappointed for the Summer Transfer window, where a release clause will become active in his contract.
Huijsen only arrived on the south coast in the summer and joined Juventus for £ 15 million. But he made such a big impression with the cherries in the first half of the season that the elite of the top flight is already circling.
It has been reported that Huijsen could be available for only £ 50 million in the summer due to a clause in his contract, which has put many clubs on Red Alert.
However, it may not be a foregone conclusion that Huijsen leaves Bournemouth belonged to a pool of clubs that get a chance to qualify for Europe next season.
The Cherries have never played in Europe, which means that the side of Andoni Iraola would make history if they could end this season in the top echelons of the Premier League table. And European football could convince Huijsen to stay in place.
He had so much hinted in an interview with The Guardian last month, where he said: “We are doing well and I think we can be eligible for Europe. We have the quality and potential.
“Who wouldn't want to play in Europe? I think everyone would like that. It would go in the history of the club. It would be great for all players, fans and everyone involved. I think it is realistic with how we play.
“We are doing well and all statistics show that it is not only happiness and that we deserve to be here. We just have to continue to work, stay humble and continue to prove ourselves. '
Bournemouth -Baas, Iraola, who currently has the club fifth in the standings of the Premier League, thinks that Huijsen is intended for the top. He said: “I think he has shown from the start that he can do this.
“He plays with confidence and although he is 19 years old, he played a few games. But now with the injury to Marcos [Senesi]He will certainly have to play more.
“It is not always easy to play as a defender in the Premier League, but I hope that the young players can grow together and continue their development. The good thing for them is that they have room to improve. “
