Liverpool targets Dean Huijsen

Liverpool could make a swift move for Dean Huijsen. According to Spanish media, the Real Madrid centre-back is among the top priorities for Andoni Iraola, who is tipped to become the next manager of the English club.

The two know each other well, as the Spanish coach previously managed the player during his stint at Bournemouth. Convinced of his potential, Iraola is keen to integrate him into his project at Anfield. At just 21 years old, Huijsen has established himself as one of the most promising young defenders in Europe.

🚨Andoni Iraola has already asked Liverpool to sign Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen.

The former Bournemouth boss wants to link up with the young center back who played for him before moving to the Spanish club last summer.

However, the deal looks set to be a tough one for Liverpool. The Madrid club is counting on their young talent for the future and will only consider letting him go in exchange for a significant offer, reportedly over €70 million. With Ibrahima Konaté’s departure looming, the Reds are actively looking to bolster their defensive line. Dean Huijsen thus stands out as one of the most ambitious targets of this transfer window.
