Fabrizio Romano Confirms Newcastle Willing to Pursue £50M-rated PSG, Real Madrid Target | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain showed interest in Dean Huijsen last summer as part of their defensive rebuild, but the Spanish center-back ended up joining AFC Bournemouth. If PSG decides to pursue him again, they won’t be the only ones in the running.

Although PSG strengthened their defense with Willian Pacho, Milan Skriniar is likely to make his loan move to Fenerbahçe permanent, which could leave PSG in need of another center-back this summer.

Huijsen has caught the attention of several top clubs with his solid performances in the Premier League. If PSG sees him as a good fit, they’ll face competition for his signature, and any team looking to sign him will probably need to meet his release clause.

In his newsletter for GIVE ME SPORT, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that the Magpies are one of the clubs keen on the young defender.

“Newcastle, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Liverpool,” Romano noted. “Many clubs are calling and, for sure, Newcastle are one of them.”

On Thursday, TEAMtalk reported, citing sources, that Newcastle have made Huijsen their top target for the summer transfer window, though another club is currently ahead in the race for his signature.

The report also mentions that the Magpies have reached out to Huijsen’s agents to express interest in signing him. Newcastle view the 19-year-old center-back as a great addition due to his relatively low cost, with a £50 million release clause in his Bournemouth contract.
