Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert has admitted he is prepared for Dean Huijsen to leave the club at the end of the season - as the defender continues to be linked with a move to Liverpool and Chelsea.

Huijsen, 19, has been one of the key pillars of the Cherries' push for Champions League qualification this season after moving to the south coast from Juventus last summer.

In light of such an impressive season at the Vitality Stadium, this month's international break saw Huijsen make his first two appearances for the Spanish national team as they defeated the Netherlands in the quarter-finals of the Nations League.

Following Sunday's penalty shoot-out victory over the 1988 European Championship winners, Huijsen's Bournemouth team-mate Kluivert said he doesn't think the defender will be at the club next season.

Asked about the former Roma and Juventus defender's future on the south coast, Kluivert told reporters: "I know that next year he won't be with us.

Earlier this year, it was reported by The Athletic that Liverpool are one of several European sides, including Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, to hold an interest in Huijsen.

The 19-year-old has a £50m release clause in his contract that will be valid this summer.

Liverpool have strong links to Bournemouth after sporting director Richard Hughes made the move to Anfield from the south coast last summer.

After making his international debut last week, Huijsen was asked if he would like to play for Real Madrid one day.

However, the defender insisted he is focused on ending the season strongly at Bournemouth.
