Bad news piles up for PSG in the Dean Huijsen case

The central defense is once again under construction at PSG. A year ago, the captain’s club brought in Milan Skriniar, free at the end of his contract with Inter, Lucas Hernández, recruited for €50 million from Bayern Munich, then Lucas Beraldo from São Paulo in the winter, for a check of €20 million. While waiting for the return of Presnel Kimpembe, injured all season, none of the three players mentioned above has managed to establish themselves over time in the hinge to team up with Marquinhos.

The Slovak has been very inconsistent, not to say disappointing, in addition to having been injured this winter. Luis Enrique was not convinced and is pushing for his departure during this transfer window. The Frenchman had done the hardest part by finding his place in the center in the last third of the season, before seriously injuring his knee, preventing him from finishing the season by giving up on the Euro in particular. Finally, the young Brazilian has shown his limits and still seems a little tender for the highest level.

Juve wants at least €30m

So reinforcements are needed. The Leny Yoro track has been in trouble for a while now. Luis Campos has targeted another player, still young but with great potential in the person of Dean Huijsen. The Team revealed this interest two days ago. The 19-year-old left-hander is coming off a satisfactory half-season on loan at Roma (14 appearances in all competitions, 2 goals), despite a substitute status in Daniele De Rossi’s mind. He is still under contract until 2028 with Juventus.

The Old Lady sees his sale in a positive light. It would allow them to replenish their coffers, despite the great hopes placed on the 1m97 defender. The Piedmont club also wants to take advantage of Huijsen’s rating to raise the bids. The presence of PSG is not for nothing, moreover. If the price of €20 million had initially been mentioned, The Gazzetta dello Sport claims that the Turinese will not listen to any offer under €30 million. Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle are also in this case.

The player and his father are attracted by Bayer and Xabi Alonso

The Dutch-Spaniard has made a club competing in the Champions League and able to offer him playing time a priority. So far, PSG ticks all the boxes, as does Bayer Leverkusen, who are about to lose Jonathan Tah. This is also where things get complicated for the Parisians. According to Tuttosportwhich confirms the price of €30 million, the track leading to B04 is very serious, particularly due to the presence of Xabi Alonso, who has shown his ability to grow a young shoot. The player and his father-agent make the German champion the ideal springboard for the future.
