Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are set to battle for the signing of Bournemouth’s rising defensive star Dean Huijsen, according to Fichajes. The 19-year-old has impressed in his debut Premier League season and is attracting interest from several European giants.
A Breakout Season at Bournemouth
Having arrived from Juventus in a deal worth up to £15.3 million, Huijsen has established himself as Andoni Iraola’s first-choice centre-back. His commanding performances in the Cherries’ defence have made him one of the most sought-after young defenders in Europe. Alongside Manchester United and PSG, Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich are also monitoring his progress.
A High-Stakes Transfer Battle
Bournemouth are expected to demand a hefty transfer fee for Huijsen, given his growing reputation. Manchester United are eager to inject young talent into their squad under Ruben Amorim, and Huijsen’s profile perfectly fits their rebuilding plans.
Meanwhile, PSG, who recently secured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, are keen to strengthen their defensive options with another top young talent. With their financial power, they could pose a serious challenge to United’s pursuit.
Bournemouth’s Stand
The Cherries hope to retain Huijsen, but if they fail to secure European qualification, a summer exit seems inevitable. As the transfer battle intensifies, it remains to be seen where the highly-rated defender will land next season.
