Paris Saint-Germain are looking to bolster their defense with two promising young central defenders next season. A recent report from L’Equipe reveals that PSG are seriously considering signing Dean Huijsen, Juventus’ center-back who spent last season on loan at AS Roma.

LOSC Lille’s standout defender Leny Yoro has reportedly informed potential suitors, including PSG, of his intention to move to Real Madrid. As a result, the reigning Ligue 1 champions will need to consider alternative options to reinforce their center-back position.

La Repubblica reports that negotiations with PSG for Huijsen, which appeared to be moving swiftly toward a conclusion, abruptly came to a halt. If a €20 million offer comes in, he could depart. Without suitable offers, new manager Thiago Motta plans to retain him in his squad.

According to recent information from TuttoJuve.com, PSG and Bayern Munich are the two clubs with the most advanced contacts. Additionally, Dortmund, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leverkusen, Leipzig, and Stuttgart are monitoring the defender’s situation.

Huijsen made 26 total appearances for Roma last season, scoring two goals and registering two assists.
