Dean Huijsen is set to be one of the most talked about footballers in Europe in the coming months with multiple top clubs across the continent chasing his signing in the summer.
Real Madrid, for one, are among the suitors of the 20-year-old AFC Bournemouth and Spain defender, as they look to reinforce the backline.
However, Los Blancos are facing stiff competition from several big teams from the Premier League, with the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal all interested.
In fact, reports earlier this week even suggested that Chelsea might be leading Real Madrid in the race to sign Huijsen.
Providing an update on the situation, though, journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Huijsen has not made any decision on his next club as of yet.

What appears certain is that the young Spaniard’s £50 million release clause will be triggered by one of his many suitors this summer. The final decision about where he joins will thus be solely up to the 20-year-old centre-back.
As mentioned earlier, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea are all keen on signing Huijsen and are locked in talks with the defender’s camp over a potential transfer.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are also in the race for the youngster, having had their eyes on him since January earlier this year.
Real Madrid, for their part, are also big admirers of Huijsen but at the moment are still not fully certain about their summer plans and are yet to decide whether to sign a new centre-back or not.
This hesitation from Real Madrid could end up costing them as Premier League clubs are pushing hard to secure Huijsen’s services.
