Liverpool Plot Move for Tottenham, PSG’s £50M-Rated Target to Add More Youth | OneFootball

Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen as they looked to bolster their defense, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth instead. If PSG makes another move for him, they’ll have plenty of competition.

PSG strengthened their backline with Willian Pacho, but with Milan Škriniar likely to make his loan to Fenerbahçe permanent, they could be in the market for another center-back this summer.

Huijsen has continued to impress in England, delivering consistent performances in the Premier League and earning plenty of praise. His strong form hasn’t gone unnoticed, drawing interest from several top clubs.

While a transfer battle is shaping up for the young defender, one club that appears to be ready to make a serious run is Liverpool.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Liverpool are making strong progress in their push to strengthen the squad, with sporting director Richard Hughes working on the club’s first major summer signing. Meanwhile, interest in a top Bournemouth star is gaining momentum.

“I can confirm once again to you that Liverpool are really, really advancing in the process to identify the center-back they want to sign in the summer,” Romano told his YouTube channel. “Liverpool will go for an important center-back.

“In an internal meeting they had with Richard Hughes, with people on the board involved and Arne Slot too, they all agreed on bringing in an important center-back in the summer transfer window.

“When I say important, it could be an important talent, it could be an established player. But my information is that Liverpool want to invest in young players for present and future, so this could be the view.

“Let’s see what happens; we know their position on [Dean] Huijsen. Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern, and Newcastle are all keen on signing him. There will be many clubs in the race.

“Liverpool are also monitoring other players, actively working on the new centre-back, working to identify who is the player they really, really want to bring in.”

CaughtOffside previously reported, citing sources, that Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are all tracking Huijsen.

The 19-year-old has a release clause of around £50 million, but that figure could rise if he signs a new contract with Bournemouth.
