Manchester City has joined Liverpool, Chelsea, and Real Madrid in pursuing Bournemouth’s rising star Dean Huijsen, intensifying the competition for the talented defender’s signature.
The 19-year-old Spanish defender, who joined from Juventus last summer, has quickly established himself as an integral part of Bournemouth’s success this season. With two Premier League goals in his 24 appearances across all competitions, Huijsen has helped the Cherries secure an impressive seventh-place position, despite their recent 2-1 setback against Brighton.
Although Huijsen’s contract runs until 2030, several elite clubs are monitoring his situation. According to Fichajes.net, Premier League leaders Liverpool are particularly keen, alongside other European powerhouses. The youngster’s release clause stands at £50 million, reflecting his growing status in English football.
Manchester City’s interest comes despite their recent defensive acquisitions of Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis. Pep Guardiola’s side currently sits fifth in the Premier League, with their title defense severely compromised following a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool, leaving them 20 points behind the leaders.
Club Updates: Title Races and European Campaigns
Real Madrid has bounced back from a brief slump with a crucial 2-0 victory over Girona, featuring goals from Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior. They’re now level on points with Barcelona (54) at La Liga’s summit, separated only by goal difference with 13 matches remaining.
Liverpool continues to dominate the Premier League, extending their lead to 11 points after defeating Manchester City. Jürgen Klopp’s side looks to maintain their momentum against Newcastle United in their upcoming fixture.
European Aspirations
Chelsea has shown impressive form, demonstrated by their commanding 4-0 victory over Southampton. The Blues are now fourth in the league and preparing for their UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 first leg against FC Copenhagen, having dominated their group with a perfect record.
For any club securing Huijsen’s services, they’ll be acquiring one of football’s most promising defensive talents. His combination of technical ability, tactical awareness, and Premier League experience at such a young age makes him an attractive prospect for Europe’s elite clubs.
