Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the situation of Dean Huijsen ahead of a the summer transfer window.

The 19-year-old defender has been making waves in the Premier League, seemingly impressing scouts and fans alike with his consistent performances for the Cherries.

Born in Amsterdam in April 2005, Huijsen’s football journey began in Spain after his family relocated there in 2010.

He started playing for Costa Unida CF de Marbella before joining Málaga’s academy in 2015.

In 2021, he moved to Juventus, initially playing for their U17 team.

Huijsen’s rapid progress led to his promotion to Juventus’ Next Gen (U23) team in January 2023, where he gained professional experience in Serie C.

Huijsen’s experience was further enriched by a loan stint at Roma in January 2024, where he scored his first Serie A goal.

Bournemouth acquired him from Juventus in the summer of 2024, and he has since become a key figure in their defense.

Alex Crook for talkSPORT has revealed that the 19-year-old has caught the attention of both Liverpool and Chelsea ahead of the summer.

The reporter wrote:

“Bournemouth are braced for a summer battle to keep several of their star men, and manager Andoni Iraola!”

“Their incredible rise up the table has not gone unnoticed with centre-back Dean Huijsen, who is believed to have a £50m release clause in his contract, attracting attention from Liverpool and Chelsea.”

Huijsen’s £50 million release clause was first reported by Fabrizio Romano, with the Italian confirming that it becomes active this summer.

While Bournemouth is eager to retain him by offering a new deal, the likelihood of Huijsen staying seems slim given the interest from top-tier clubs.

His desire to play at the highest level could see him make a move in the upcoming transfer window.

Speaking about the Premier League back in December of last year, it seems clear that the Spanish defender may want to remain in the division even if he does leave the Vitaliy Stadium:

“The Premier League is magical: every weekend you can win or lose against anyone

There’s an insane quality; it’s less tactical than Serie A but faster and more intense
