One of the Premier League’s hottest prospects looks set to leave in the summer, with a host of clubs lined up to swoop Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen away from the south coast.
The Dutch-born Spanish international has impressed throughout the season after his £12.8 million move from Juventus.
News of a £50 million release clause has caught the attention of Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid, among others.
As we investigate the latest Dean Huijsen transfer odds, we look to see which team is the most likely fit and where this talented centre back will end up next season.
| Dean Huijsen Next Club | Odds | Bookmaker |
|---|---|---|
| Liverpool | 7/4 | bet365 |
| Chelsea | 9/4 | bet365 |
| Real Madrid | 9/2 | bet365 |
| Arsenal | 8/1 | bet365 |
| Bournemouth | 10/1 | bet365 |
Huijsen Transfer to Chelsea
Chelsea has been the most proactive in triggering the release clause and bringing Huijsen to Stamford Bridge.
Reports are that a seven-year package has been put in place, fitting with their approach of signing young talent on (overly) long contracts.
The investment strategy under American owner, Todd Boehly, has been aggressive, and they are treading the line with PSR, which could mean that players need to leave to get the Dean Huijsen transfer over the line.
Odds of 9/4 with bet365 for Huijsen to join Chelsea look a solid bet. He fits the mould in terms of player profile and will likely get a lot of first-team football given the current squad's limitations at centre back.
Liverpool – Huijsen Next Club Odds
Liverpool’s progression under Arne Slot has been impressive. They’re about to stroll to their second Premier League title in five years and will be looking at the summer market to bolster an already strong, but ageing, squad.
Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate have formed one of the most formidable centre-back pairings in the league this season, conceding just 31 goals in 33 games, bettered only by Arsenal (29).
As a result, the Spaniard would have to bide his time before breaking into the first team. Liverpool lacks depth, but questions will arise from the Huijsen camp regarding how many minutes he can realistically expect.
Even at 19, he’s proved his worth in the league and voiced his desire to play as much as possible.
A transfer to Liverpool would arguably be a better long-term move than Chelsea, but playing second-fiddle to the league's best may not be a risk Huijsen wants to take at this stage.
Priced at 7/4 for him to move to Merseyside seems short.
Dean Huijsen: Transfer to Real Madrid?
One option for the wily defender is to head back to where Huijsen calls home: Spain.
Real Madrid have been keeping close tabs on Huijsen since his time in Italy with Roma and Juventus, reportedly missing out in the summer as he favoured a move to the Premier League to get more game time.
But life is moving quickly, and his meteoric rise will no doubt rouse the beast that is Los Blancos.
With an ageing back line that includes the likes of Rudiger (32), Alaba (32) and Carvajal (33), youth will be a priority for Carlo Ancelotti in the summer.
Rejecting teams like Real Madrid once is rare, but to do it a second time in 12 months is almost unheard of.
If they decide that the Dean Huijsen transfer makes sense, odds of 9/2 will look seriously good value, and while it’s still not decided where he will end up, this is our pick for his next club.
