Dean Huijsen is one of the most sought after players of the Summer Transfer window and Chelsea and Liverpool are supposed to plan a movement for the Spain International, which has a release clause of £ 50 million in his contract with Bournemouth
Chelsea and Liverpool both lead the race to sign Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, whereby every interested club has to pay its £ 50 million release clause. Huijsen has been one of the striking players of the Premier League season, in which the 19-year-old puts some colossal displays in defense for the Cherries.
The two Premier League sides both need new center backs, because Enzo Maresca covers for the wounded Wesley Fofana, while Arne Slot knows that he should replace Virgil van Dijk instead of later.
According to The Independent, Bournemouth are brace for interest in Huijsen this summer and Real Madrid belong to the teams that keep an eye on the teenager.
It would be difficult for Huijsen to say no to Madrid if they come to call, especially because he is a Spain International, but he may also want to continue in the Premier League. The report says that the blues and the Reds both worked on deals to sign Huijsen – where the first makes more progress when signing him.
However, it emphasizes that his future is still “in the air in the air”, while he is waiting to weigh all the interest and potential offers before he makes a decision about the next step.
It goes further to say that the situation of Liverpool can change if Virgil van Dijk decides to sign a contract extension, which could mean that the club could postpone their attempts to sign a backup defender.
Real Madrid looks at the future in the defense, with David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger both becoming 32, so they will want to sign to sign someone they can trust for years.
The report says that the Spanish giants have the feeling that they would have 'considerable waving' if they enter the race to sign Huijsen, although they do not yet have to work formally on a deal.
Huijsen would have little trouble going to life in the Spanish capital, which grew up in Marbella after he and his family had moved there as a 5-year-old.
He made his first start for Spain in the international break in a 3-3 draw against the Netherlands, in which he took an assist, while he played for 49 minutes in the previous draw against the Dutch.
His Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola said that his call-up of the Spain team and solid versions were no surprise. He said: “Because he has now made the national team debut and has played well, people are talking about him more. I think he played at the same level that he played with us.
“Of course he has improved because he now has more experience. He has had to deal with very difficult attackers, but we have already received a very good player when he came in the summer.”
