AliousLast summer, Paris Saint-Germain had their eyes on Dean Huijsen as they aimed to bolster their defense, but the young Spanish center-back ended up signing with AFC Bournemouth instead.
Should PSG reignite their pursuit of him, they’ll face stiff competition from other clubs.
Although they’ve already added Willian Pacho to their backline, Milan Skriniar’s expected permanent move to Fenerbahçe after his loan could leave PSG shopping for another central defender by the summer.
Huijsen has been turning heads in the Premier League with his reliable and impressive showings, garnering admiration and catching the attention of several elite teams.
If PSG decides he’s the player they need, they’ll be entering a crowded race to secure his services, and any interested club will likely need to match a specific price to seal the deal.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are making moves to position themselves at the forefront of the chase for Huijsen.
According to a Thursday report from TEAMtalk, which referenced insider sources, the Magpies have identified the Bournemouth standout as their primary target for the upcoming summer transfer window and have already reached out to his representatives to signal their intent.
However, the report notes that another club currently holds the advantage in this transfer tussle.
Newcastle views Huijsen as an ideal addition, particularly due to the relatively affordable fee required to pry him away.
The 19-year-old, who represents Spain at the Under-21 level, carries a £50 million release clause in his Bournemouth contract—a figure accessible to any club, not just those competing in Europe’s top tournaments.
Despite Newcastle’s efforts, TEAMtalk’s sources suggest that Real Madrid are the frontrunners to land the promising defender.
