Chelsea and Liverpool are both keen to sign highly rated youngster this summer. The player is already impressing in Premier League and will cost £50 million. He is also viewed by Spanish giants and the player can prefer to join them.
Chelsea are headed for another big summer transfer window. They are likely to make some key changes in their current squad. The top priority of the club will be to improve their defence. As of now, both Chalobah and Disasi are linked with exit whereas Badiashile can also be sold.
On the other hand, Liverpool are in danger of losing their captain for free. Virgil van Dijk will be out of contract this summer and still has not signed a new one. In addition, there are doubts about the future of Ibrahima Konate who is looked upon by multiple clubs.

Bournemouth are very happy with Huijsen and want to keep him for long-time. But, they might not be able to hold the player against his wish. The 19 year old has £50 million release clause in his current contract and the Cherries will want it to be paid fully.
Lastly, Huijsen has strong interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are keen to improve their back-line and are ready to spend big. Recently, Huijsen was asked about the interest from Madrid. The 19 year old was very happy to know that and this may suggest that Los Blancos have upper hand in the race.
