Chelsea have been long-term admirers of Huijsen. He firs perfectly in their idea of hiring young players. The 19 year old has £50 million release clause in his contract. This clause will be activated after the ending of current season.
Bournemouth are keen to offer Huijsen a new contract. They will plan to remove his release clause or increase it even higher. But, the player may opt to reject the contract and move to a bigger club this summer itself.
Liverpool have strong interest to sign Dean Huijsen
Football Insider have reported that Liverpool have accelerated thier intetest in Dean Huijsen. The report adds that the Reds want him to replace Virgi van Dijk who is linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Huijsen can be a very good replacement for Netherlands captain.
Van Dijk can still extend his contract with Liverpool but he will surely need replacement soon. In addition, there are reports of Ibrahima Konate moving away in summer. Hence, this will make Huijsen a top priority for the club. However, the Reds need to be ready for strong competition in the race.
