Manchester United eyeing Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen for summer move

Manchester United are setting their sights on Bournemouth’s young defensive sensation, Dean Huijsen, as they plan for the upcoming summer transfer window. The 19-year-old Spain youth international has been making waves in the Premier League, and his performances have caught the attention of United manager Ruben Amorim.

Huijsen has a release clause of 65 million euros, which is set to activate in July. This could make him a hot property in the transfer market, especially with several top clubs also showing interest. Manchester United are keen to bolster their defensive options, particularly with concerns over Lisandro Martinez’s availability at the start of next season.

Since joining Bournemouth, Huijsen has demonstrated his quality at the highest level. He has made 21 appearances for the Cherries, contributing two goals from the backline. His ability to read the game, his composure in possession, and his threat from set pieces have made him one of the most promising young defenders in Europe.

On the international stage, Huijsen has already begun to establish himself. He has featured six times for Spain’s U21 team, scoring once. Before committing to Spain, he also represented the Netherlands at the U19 level, playing in three matches. His dual nationality has made him an exciting prospect for both club and country.

While Manchester United are heavily interested in securing his services, they are not alone in their pursuit. According to reports from The Sun, Real Madrid, Premier League rivals, and several top German clubs are also monitoring the talented defender. With such high-profile interest, United may have to act swiftly to ensure they do not miss out on the rising star.

Huijsen’s potential arrival at Old Trafford would be part of a broader rebuild under Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach is keen to reinforce his squad as United look to challenge for major honors next season. A young, dynamic defender like Huijsen would fit perfectly into Amorim’s tactical plans, offering both immediate quality and long-term potential.

The Red Devils have been actively scouting young defensive talent in recent months, with an emphasis on securing players who can develop into world-class stars. Huijsen, with his blend of technical ability, defensive intelligence, and physical presence, ticks all the right boxes.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Manchester United fans will be eagerly watching how this potential deal unfolds. With competition fierce, United may need to move decisively to bring the Spanish starlet to Old Trafford.
