Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing Juventus defender Dean Huijsen to strengthen their defense this summer. The young center-back matches the profile PSG has been targeting in recent transfer windows—he’s promising and hasn’t hit his full potential yet.
Huijsen played 26 matches for Roma last season during his loan stint, scoring two goals and providing two assists. Moreover, the Parisians face stiff competition from AFC Bournemouth as another report links the Cherries to the defender.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Bournemouth are intensifying their efforts to sign Huijsen, facing competition from Stuttgart.
Talks are ongoing with both clubs and negotiations are speeding up as the Premier League side is determined to finalize the deal following Stuttgart’s initial offer. Juventus are eager to sell Huijsen quickly to move forward with their transfer for Jean-Clair Todibo.
