Barcelona accompany Real Madrid and Liverpool in the pursuit of a 19-year-old Premier League defender | OneFootball

Following a winter transfer window in which there were no changes in the FC Barcelona squad, the Catalans are expected to undertake several moves in the next summer transfer window.

One area of the Blaugrana team that is most likely to experience some changes next summer is the defense, as currently there is a surplus of center-backs in Hansi Flick’s squad, and some of them might have to leave.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have also been linked with new players for this position, with the German defender Jonathan Tah being closely linked with them for some time now.

However, Fichajes reports that there is another young defender whose demand is increasing dramatically in Europe, and Barcelona are one of the three big clubs that are looking to sign him next summer.

This player is the Bournemouth center-back Dean Huijsen, whose performances have also attracted the interest of Real Madrid and Liverpool.

Currently, the Blaugranes are only evaluating their options for the defense, but believe that the Dutchman can be a good complement for Pau Cubarsí in the center of their defense, and the two defenders can be their starting center-backs for years to come.

With the futures of players like Andreas Christensen, Ronald Araujo, and Eric Garcia far from certain, their departures will make the Catalans look for another defender in the market, and Huijsen would be an ideal candidate.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are also looking for defensive reinforcements as both David Alaba and Eder Militao have suffered long-term injuries. The Merengues believe Huijsen would be a good piece to strengthen their defense, as he can bring the required solidity.

Similarly, Liverpool are also looking for another reliable center-back to accompany the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahim Konate, and Joe Gomez.

The Dutchman’s release clause of €50 million will be activated in the upcoming summer, and with such high demand in the market, it will be interesting to see where he will be playing for the next season.
