Liverpool is already planning the future of its central defense and has set its sights on Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old center-back, who is shining at Bournemouth, is one of the options that Arne Slot considers ideal to reinforce the Reds' backline. According to Football Insider, the Dutch coach has reportedly requested his signing for the upcoming season, given the uncertainty surrounding Virgil van Dijk's continuity.
The Perfect Heir for Virgil Van Dijk
Liverpool's captain's contract expires in 2025, and although the club seeks to extend his deal, no agreement has been reached yet. Aware of this situation, Slot has begun to evaluate alternatives and sees Huijsen as a defender with similar qualities to his compatriot. His physical strength, ability to play the ball out, and reading of the game fit perfectly into the style the new coach aims to implement at Anfield.
The center-back, owned by Juventus, has shown outstanding performance in the Premier League, establishing himself as one of the great prospects in his position. His progress has caught the attention of several clubs, but Liverpool seems determined to take the lead in the race for his signing. If Van Dijk does not renew in the end, the arrival of Huijsen could become a priority for the Reds, who seek to secure the future of their defense with a highly promising player.
