Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent months.
Liverpool and Real Madrid are keen on signing 19-year-old Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, and a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that Bayern Munich have now joined the race for him.
The Bavarian club are set to intensify their efforts to sign the Dutch-born centre-back, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. The defender is valued at £50 million, and he could prove to be an interesting acquisition for all three clubs.
The Spanish international is highly rated in the Premier League, and he has shown his qualities with Bournemouth this season. There is no doubt that he is a talented player with a bright future. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to join a bigger club in the summer.
Dean Huijsen could fancy joining a big club
Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and they could help him fight for major trophies and compete in the UEFA Champions League regularly. The opportunity to join them will be hard to turn down for the youngster.
However, the youngster needs to join a club where he will play regularly. It remains to be seen whether all three clubs are prepared to provide him with game-time assurances. Sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to benefit him at this stage of his career.
The reported £50 million valuation seems steep for a largely unproven player, but the 19-year-old is a phenomenal talent, and he could justify the investment in the long term. All three clubs need defensive reinforcements, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Bayern Munich need an alternative to Dayot Upamecano, who has been inconsistent. On the other hand, Liverpool will need to replace Virgil van Dijk if he moves on in the summer. As for Real Madrid, Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba are in their 30s, and they need to start planning for the future.
