Liverpool have made their interest known for Bournemouth center back Dean Huijsen.
Arne Slot and Liverpool Eager On Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen
Liverpool are likely to go all-in for 20-year-old Spanish defender Dean Huijsen. He has been impressive in his debut Premier League season at Bournemouth. The Reds have reportedly made a formal offer to bring him to Anfield this June.
The Dutch-born centre-back, has already played for Spain at the senior level. He is having a standout campaign with three goals and an assist in 33 games so far. With Arne Slot preparing to reshape Liverpool’s defense, Dean is seen as a long-term fit.
However, the Merseyside club will face stiff competition. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham all are making official offers for the Bournemouth star. He has a release clause of £50 million.
Bournemouth are well aware of his value. The Reds’ interest comes as part of their team rebuild. Slot is aiming to bring in top defensive talent to bolster the squad for next season.
Real Madrid Looms as Major Threat in Transfer Battle
Despite strong Premier League interest, Real Madrid may have the upper hand.
According to SER Deportivos, Huijsen wants to play in the Spanish capital. His father has even got a law firm to open talks with Madrid. However, Los Blancos are currently waiting on incoming boss Xabi Alonso’s opinion before making a move.
Madrid’s delay gives Premier League clubs a great opportunity. Although, Huijsen’s camp is reportedly willing to wait for the Los Blancos.
Chelsea will be Liverpool’s biggest rival. Additionally, the London side is making the Spaniard a top target for the Club World Cup. Still, Liverpool are trying to go all in and sign the talented defender.
The race to sign the Cherries’ centre-back is heating up fast. We could be set to see one of Europe’s most exciting defensive talents make a big move this summer.
