Manchester City have entered the race for Dean Huijsen, with Liverpool and Chelsea keen to land the Bournemouth defender.
According to Give Me Sport, Dean Huijsen may have another high-profile suitor chasing him as Manchester City have reportedly entered the race. The Bournemouth defender already has Chelsea and Liverpool as suitors ahead of the summer, as Pep Guardiola is also intent on chasing the Dutch centre-back.
Dean Huijsen has proven beyond any doubt that he is likely to be one of the top centre-backs in the future. For now, he has already shown signs of massive adaptability to the Premier League in his first full season, and at the age of 19, the Dutchman has the world at his feet.
Some of the top clubs are already chasing his signature, as there is a reported £50 million clause in his contract with the Cherries. Huijsen is also thought to be open to making a swift move out of Bournemouth should one or more of those big teams knock on the door, as he has ambitions for his career.
Chelsea are in the mix for Dean Huijsen, and they might have even thought about signing him in January, while they are also interested in teammate Illia Zabarnyi. Huijsen’s ability to play with both feet, as well as his work on the ball, makes him an essential profile in this day and age of central defenders.
Liverpool also view him as a top target ahead of the summer, as Arne Slot has Huijsen as part of a small shortlist of defenders. The Merseyside outfit are in danger of losing talismanic centre-back Virgil van Dijk. However, his future is not detrimental to them chasing names like the £50 million-rated defensive sensation.
Manchester City enters the Dean Huijsen chase
Manchester City spent a big sum on two new centre-backs in January, with Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis arriving in the winter market. Their possible entry in the Huijsen chase shows that Pep Guardiola remains keen to land another player in the position, as the £50 million-rated defensive sensation’s profile must suit the Premier League champions.
The release clause may not be an issue for Manchester City, although the competition from elsewhere might prove complicated in the Dean Huijsen chase. Overall, the teenage prospect is expected to move out of Bournemouth in the summer, as he does have some high-profile suitors, including Guardiola’s side.
