  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Huijsen’s standout performances have caught the attention of multiple English heavyweights. Chelsea, Liverpool, United, and Tottenham have all expressed a serious desire to bring in the Spain international. Each of these clubs is reportedly willing to activate the €58 million release (£50m/$63m) clause in his contract - a figure that is well within reach for clubs of their financial stature.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    According to Relevo, Huijsen is eager to continue in the Premier League amid Real Madrid's interest in the player. The defender previously spent time in their youth academy, and returning to the Spanish giants is a dream he is believed to still hold. Despite their interest, however, Madrid’s top brass remain undecided on whether to make a move this summer. The club is reportedly hesitant to spend big on a centre-back who, while promising, has only just emerged at the top level. With their focus potentially elsewhere in the transfer market, the €58m price tag could therefore be seen as too steep.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    While England seems to be the most likely destination, a few notable European giants are also monitoring Huijsen’s situation. Bayern Munich, on the lookout for a promising young central defender, have shown interest, though financial constraints may limit their ability to compete with Premier League offers. Paris Saint-Germain are another club keen on strengthening their backline. Known for their financial firepower, PSG would have no issue meeting Bournemouth’s valuation. However, the allure of English football and the competitive nature of the Premier League may give English clubs an edge.

    WHAT NEXT FOR HUIJSEN?

    While Huijsen has made it clear he appreciates everything Bournemouth has done for him, his time on the south coast appears to be nearing its conclusion. He will likely take a call on his future next month as the Spain international now looks ready for the next challenge in his career.
