Paris Saint-Germain was interested in Leny Yoro, but they couldn’t secure him. The capital club turned its attention to Juventus’ Dean Huijsen, but it looks like they’re missing out on this young defender as well.
La Stampa recently reported that Huijsen is keen on joining PSG with other information, such as Tuttosport reporting that Liverpool and Newcastle United have shown interest in the center-back.
However, in recent days, Bournemouth have stepped up its efforts to secure the teenager, and now it seems the Premier League side would have won the race for Huijsen.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Huijsen has reached a verbal agreement with the Cherries. The agreement between Bournemouth and Juventus will be €18 million plus a sell-on clause, and Huijsen has agreed on a long-term deal with medical tests to follow.

Juventus plan to bid for OGC Nice defender Jean Clair Todibo as soon as Huijsen signs his deal with the English club. During his loan stint with Roma last season, Huijsen played 26 matches, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
