To strengthen its defense this summer, PSG is exploring a new avenue in Italy with Dean Huijsen, the Spanish international hopeful from Juventus Turin. A player available on the transfer market this summer, but highly sought after.
If PSG has made Leny Yoro its priority to strengthen its defense this summer, this file is expensive and complicated since several other big European clubs are on the spot, including Real Madrid, who are favored by the young 18-year-old Lille defender . According to L’Equipe, PSG has a plan B in the event of failure in this Yoro file. A plan B which consists of recruiting two defenders, cheaper and capable of covering at least two positions.
As it filtered last week, PSG is targeting Lutsharel Geertruida (23), a versatile Dutch defender from Feyenoord Rotterdam, who can play in the center as well as on the right. But this Thursday, L’Equipe also mentions the name of Dean Huijsen (19 years old), a promising young defender whom PSG has already encountered in the Youth League and who is coming out of an interesting six-month loan to AS Roma, even if he played little at the end of the season.
Three German opponents for PSG in the Huijsen case
Born in the Netherlands, but a Spanish international hopeful (he moved to Spain at 5 years old), this beautiful baby of 1m97 is ambidextrous and can play both right axial and left axial. Enough to score points with Luis Enrique, especially since Huijsen is very comfortable with the ball and can prove valuable on the restart.
According to L’Equipe, a transfer of Huijsen could be concluded this summer for around €20 million. In Italy, La Gazzetta dello Sport has been explaining for a few days that Juventus wants to sell its prospect to finance its transfer window, even if the Italian daily is talking more about a range of €25-30 million to hope to recruit the Amsterdam native.
And the Italian media reported yesterday that three German clubs qualified for the next Champions League were on this file: Bayer Leverkusen (where PSG appreciates Edmond Tapsoba), Bayern Munich (which no longer counts on Matthijs de Ligt) and Stuttgart.
