Chelsea Target Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen Amid Real Madrid Interest
Chelsea have reportedly placed Bournemouth’s 19-year-old star Dean Huijsen at the top of their transfer wishlist, with Real Madrid also linked to the centre-back. The highly-rated defender has impressed in the Premier League, drawing the attention of major European clubs.
Chelsea’s Interest in Dean Huijsen
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is monitoring Huijsen closely, with Bayern Munich also keeping tabs on the young defender. Romano added that Huijsen’s contract includes a release clause that will become valid this summer, further fueling speculation around his future.
A Rising Star at Bournemouth
Huijsen, who joined Bournemouth from Juventus last summer for a fee that could rise to €18.2 million (£15.37m), has quickly made a name for himself. His stellar performances have played a crucial role in Bournemouth’s rise to seventh place in the Premier League.
Huijsen’s Impact on Bournemouth’s Defense
Alongside Illia Zabarnyi, Huijsen has formed a formidable partnership at the back. The duo has been central to Bournemouth’s impressive defensive record, conceding only nine goals in their last 11 matches, the best defensive record in the Premier League during this stretch.
Will Huijsen Move to a Top European Club?
As Huijsen continues to impress with Bournemouth, transfer rumours will likely intensify. With his contract running until 2030, Huijsen has ample time to make a big-money move, but for now, he is focused on helping Bournemouth against league leaders Liverpool this Saturday.
