Dean Huijsen is emerging as one of the most sought-after defenders ahead of the summer transfer window, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle all showing strong interest in the Bournemouth center-back.
Reports indicate the 20-year-old has a £50m release clause, and with several elite European clubs also monitoring his situation, his next move remains uncertain.
Bournemouth is increasingly resigned to losing their talented defender, but the likelihood of him joining a Premier League side may hinge on whether Bayern Munich or Real Madrid intensify their pursuit.
Sources suggest that if Real Madrid formally approaches Huijsen, he would prioritize a move to La Liga.
Regular game time and Champions League participation will be significant factors in his decision.
Chelsea’s existing relationship with Huijsen’s advisors could play a role, while Liverpool’s interest may depend on the future of Ibrahima Konate, whose contract expires at the end of next season.
Additionally, Newcastle will be focused on signing a central defender, having failed to secure Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi last year.
Arsenal has also expressed interest, though breaking up their well-established defensive pairing of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes may prove challenging.
Huijsen has also been at the center of an international eligibility battle between the Netherlands and Spain.
Born in Amsterdam, he initially represented the Dutch youth teams before securing Spanish citizenship and making his senior debut for Spain last month.
