Arsenal, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are interested in signing Dean Huijsen in the summer transfer window. However, the three European bigwigs will face stiff competition from Liverpool for the 20-year-old Bournemouth defender.
According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, Liverpool will compete with their rivals for the highly rated defender, and they are prepared to send Jarell Quansah out on loan or sell him permanently.
Huijsen has done quite well in the Premier League for Bournemouth, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Liverpool. The Merseyside outfit need more quality and depth in the defensive unit. Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez can be prone to injuries, and the Reds need another quality central defender at their disposal.
Signing the talented young defender would be a wise decision. The Spanish international has a release clause worth £50 million in his contract with Bournemouth, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool are willing to pay up.
Similarly, Arsenal need more depth in the defensive unit as well, and the Spanish international would be the ideal long-term investment for them. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. The youngster will be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Chelsea have looked vulnerable defensively this season, and they need to sign a quality central defender in the summer. Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile are expected to leave Chelsea in the summer, and they will need to be replaced. Signing the 20-year-old Bournemouth defender would be a wise decision.
As for Real Madrid, they need long-term alternatives to David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger. The Bournemouth defender could be the right addition for them. The opportunity to join the biggest clubs in the world will be quite attractive for Huijsen, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
The £50 million asking price might seem like a premium right now, but the player has the potential to justify the investment in the long run. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for the highly-rated Spanish international.
