Liverpool is keen on a new center-back this summer, with Dean Huijsen high on the list after an impressive debut season at Bournemouth.

But the search in that position is set to be more concerted this time around.

While the future of Virgil van Dijk has been secured, Ibrahima Konate is nearly into the final year of his Liverpool deal, with no real progress in talks.

Real Madrid was also looking at Yoro last summer, before concluding like Liverpool that there was no longer any value to be found in that particular deal

Huijsen, with his fixed $67 million release clause, may yet tempt Los Blancos into action.

For his part, Huijsen is said to be keen to "prioritize" a move to Real Madrid in the event that the possibility crystallizes, according to the BBC

Ironically enough, one of the reasons Liverpool never pushed for Yoro was because it believed the player had a preference for Real Madrid.

Even closer to home, Trent Alexander-Arnold has potentially been lured by the appeal of the Spanish capital, although confirmation on that front is still not forthcoming

The transfer pull wielded by Real Madrid is not news to anyone.

Whether it proves decisive in the Huijsen race remains to be seen
