Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen last summer as part of their defensive overhaul, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth. If PSG pursues him again, they’ll face stiff competition.
Even after bringing in Willian Pacho, PSG could still beon the lookout for another center-back this summer, especially with Milan Skriniar expected to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent.
According to a previous report fromCaughtOffside, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are allkeeping tabs on the 19-year-old.
Huijsen has impressed in the Premier League with his solid performances, earning praise and drawing attention from top clubs. If PSG makes a move, they’ll face fierce competition, and any club targeting him will likely need to meet a hefty asking price.

Understanding the talent trajectory that Huijsen, Barcelona could be willing to sell a key player to raise funds for a move that sees them land the Bournemouth standout.
Fichajes reports that Barcelonaare eyeing Huijsen as a key addition to strengthentheir defense, but signing him depends on a bigger move—the sale of Ronald Araujo.
The Catalan club see the young Bournemouth center-back as an ideal partner for Pau Cubarsí, but with a €60 million price tag, Barcelona need to generate funds before making an offer.
Araujo’s future at the club has been uncertain in recent months, as he hasn’t cemented himself as a key figure in Hansi Flick’s plans. His departure would not only ease Barcelona’s financial strain but also give the club’s sporting directors the flexibility to push for Huijsen.
