Dean Huijsen, Bournemouth’s standout 20-year-old centre-back, is attracting significant interest from several Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Tottenham are all reportedly keen on securing his services, with Chelsea currently leading the race. The Blues are prepared to meet Huijsen’s £50 million release clause, aiming to bolster their center defense amid injuries this season and to align with manager Enzo Maresca’s possession-based style.
Huijsen’s impressive performances this season, 27 appearances, two goals, and a recent debut for Spain’s senior national team have also caught the attention of spanish giants, Real Madrid. However, financial constraints have made the Spanish giants hesitant, and potentially giving Premier League clubs an advantage.
Liverpool and Arsenal view Dean Huijsen as a long-term defensive asset. Liverpool, in particular, see him as a potential successor to their captain, Virgil van Dijk, while Arsenal aim to add depth alongside William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. Tottenham Hotspur have also expressed interest, initiating talks and considering a bid in the £30–35 million range.
Despite his previous inclination towards a move to Real Madrid, Huijsen is reportedly open to continuing his career in England, especially with the prospect of regular first-team football and participation in the Club World Cup. With his release clause set at £50 million, the competition among top clubs is intensifying, making Dean Huijsen one of the most sought-after young defenders in the upcoming transfer window.
Liverpool are reportedly leading the race and clearly favorites to sign Dean Huijsen this summer. The Reds are prepared to meet his £50 million release clause, viewing him as a long-term successor to Virgil van Dijk. Dean Huijsen's standout performances have attracted interest from several top clubs, but Liverpool's proactive approach and Champions League qualification position and also favorites to win the Premier League next season as frontrunners. With Arne Slot aiming to strengthen the defense, Huijsen's potential addition could be pivotal for the team's future.
