Liverpool Eyes Bournemouth Star Dean Huijsen

Liverpool is reportedly targeting AFC Bournemouth's rising star, Dean Huijsen, in a potential summer transfer. However, the young defender, who has just wrapped up an impressive first season in the Premier League, has confirmed some intriguing news regarding his future.

A Release Clause and Big Dreams

Huijsen, who was signed by Bournemouth for a hefty fee of up to £15.3 million, has revealed that he has a release clause in his contract, speculated to be around £50 million. This declaration could open the door for several clubs keen on acquiring his services.

Performing Under Pressure

The 19-year-old talent has shone brightly during his tenure with the Cherries, featuring in 29 matches this season and scoring two goals. His performances have not only helped Bournemouth establish themselves as European contenders but also earned him a cap for the Spanish national team.

Eyes on Real Madrid?

While Liverpool is in the mix, Huijsen has hinted at an interest in Real Madrid. He shared that his friends have been pushing him to join the prestigious La Liga club, saying, "A friend called me and said, 'Go to Real Madrid.' I laughed. What am I going to say?" His playful response left many wondering about his intentions.

Adoration for Legends

Huijsen didn't stop there; he reminisced about his boyhood idol, Sergio Ramos, and complimented Real Madrid's manager Carlo Ancelotti, stating, "He’s not at Real Madrid for nothing. He deserves credit." This admiration hints at a potential emotional pull towards the Spanish giants.

What Does the Future Hold?

Should Huijsen make the move to Real Madrid this summer, he could find himself playing alongside England's vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, who may also be on track to join the Bernabeu after his contract at Liverpool expires. The summer transfer window is heating up, and all eyes will be on how this story unfolds.
