Both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly expressed interest in securing the services of Juventus wonderkid Dean Huijsen, who is currently showcasing his talents on loan at Roma.
The 18-year-old prodigy has been in scintillating form during his loan spell at Roma from Juventus, garnering attention from several top clubs as the summer transfer window approaches.
Huijsen’s promising potential has attracted the likes of Manchester United and Tottenham, both of whom are believed to have initiated discussions regarding a possible transfer. This development comes as no surprise given the youngster’s impressive performances on the field.
For Manchester United, the acquisition of a talented young defender like Huijsen could prove vital in refreshing their squad, particularly with seasoned players such as Harry Maguire and Raphael Varane facing the twilight of their careers. Similarly, Tottenham may see Huijsen as a valuable addition to their roster, aligning with their recent strategy of investing in young talents with significant upside.
What Fabrizio Romano has said about Dean Huijsen transfer situation
Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside recently for his Daily Briefing column, transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano made it clear that, for the time being, Juventus very much have Huijsen in their plans for next season once his loan spell at the Stadio Olimpico comes to an end.
“Scorer of a fantastic goal for Roma over the weekend, Dean Huijsen will return to Juventus in the summer when his loan at Roma ends and the plan is for him to start pre-season at Juve – there are no plans to loan him again so far,” Romano said.
“They also extended his contract ahead of his Roma loan, so there’s a very clear plan in place for him.”
