Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen last summer as part of their defensive rebuild, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth. If PSG decides to go after him again, they won’t be alone in the race.
Even though PSG added Willian Pacho to their backline, Milan Skriniar is expected to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent, which could leave them in need of another center-back this summer.
Huijsen has impressed in the Premier League, drawing attention from several top clubs. If PSG sees him as a good fit, they’ll have competition, and any club looking to sign him will likely have to meet his release clause.
According toCaughtOffside, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are allkeeping an eye on the 19-year-old.

Amid the rumors, Huijsen said he’s proud to be linked with Real Madrid after making his Spain debut in Thursday’s 2-2 draw against the Netherlands.
“I’m not thinking about that right now,” Huijsen told reporters on Thursday when asked about Madrid’s interest (h/tESPN). “I’m thinking about ending the season well, and I hope I do. Then when the time comes, we’ll see.
“It makes you proud that such a big team is interested in you. I’ll keep working, and being humble.”
