Highly-rated young defender Dean Huijsen is yet to make a decision on his next club, as interest continues to mount across Europe. The 19-year-old, currently on loan at Roma from Juventus, is expected to have his £50 million release clause activated this summer.
Premier League giants Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal remain firmly in the race, with all three clubs reportedly in active discussions with Huijsen’s representatives. Each sees the Dutch-born centre-back as a long-term defensive investment.
German champions Bayern Munich have also been tracking Huijsen closely since January, although their ability to move forward with a bid may depend on player sales during the upcoming transfer window.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are monitoring the situation but have yet to decide whether to pursue a new central defender, pending internal assessments of their current squad depth and summer priorities.
With multiple top clubs vying for his signature, Huijsen’s decision is expected to be one of the more closely watched developments of the summer transfer window.
