Liverpool is planning a 'large' summer transfer window and Bournemouth – defender Dean Huijsen is linked to a £ 50 million move to Anfield – but they have competition
Liverpool will be confronted with competition from Bayern Munich in Race to sign Bournemouth Starlet Dean Huijsen. The recruitment team of Arne Slot and Liverpool would see Huijsen, 20, as a long -term replacement for Virgil van Dijk.
Although Van Dijk is ready to sign a new two -year contract this week, the Reds are planning when their captain eventually leaves. Center-back partner Ibrahima Konate is also confronted with an uncertain future, with his current deal that will expire in 2026.
Huijsen has emerged as one of Europe's most coveted young defenders after his £ 12.6 million move from Juventus last summer and made his debut for Spain last month, even though he was born in the Netherlands. Bournemouth is clearing for offers and it is well documented that there is a release clause of £ 50 million in his contract.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham are reportedly all contacted with the representatives of Huijsen to discuss a possible movement. But now Bayern has entered the race and this summer is planning to sign both him and ex-Juventus teammate Kenan Yildiz.
Tuttosport claims that Bayern is interested in reducing Turkey International Yildiz back to Bavaria after the attacker born in Germany had spent the 2021-22 season there. This is added that Bayern has put their hat in the ring for Huijsen alongside a number of other clubs that hope to secure his signature.
However, Vincent Kompany's side will not be easy, because Liverpool is ready to make a statement when the summer transfer window is opened. Prior to signing new contract, Van Dijk dropped a hint that the Reds are preparing for a 'big summer'.
“Whatever happens in terms of players who come out, players who come in, I think it should be a big summer,” said Liverpool's captain after Sunday's 2-1 victory to West Ham. “I think they are planning to make it a big summer, so we all have to trust the board to do the right work.”

Slot has also sworn to ensure that Liverpool will have a 'very strong' team next season. The decision of Mo Salah to sign a new deal, said the Reds -Baas: “That is a good start for this summer, clear.
“We are confident that he can produce for two years than he has produced in the last seven or eight years, for the reasons why I just gave you. But also because we will make this team very strong next season. Then it is always nice to have someone who can make a goal.
