Dean Huijsen is the most recent participant to seemingly turn into embroiled in a switch tug-of-war between Liverpool and Actual Madrid, however will it have the identical consequence as a couple of earlier instalments?
Each on and off the pitch, Los Blancos have been the scourge of the Reds in recent times. Since 2018 we’ve misplaced two Champions League finals to the Spanish giants and been knocked out of the match by them on two different events (to not point out a 3-0 thrashing at Anfield in 2014).
The Bernabeu aspect additionally received the switch races for Aurelien Tchouameni and Jude Bellingham desite extended curiosity from LFC, and naturally they now look set to snare Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free switch, simply as they did with Steve McManaman in 1999.
Huijsen needed by each Liverpool and Actual Madrid
Huijsen’s Bournemouth teammate Justin Kluivert mentioned this week that the 19-year-old received’t be with the Cherries subsequent season, whereas Fabrizio Romano has outlined that Liverpool have made contact concerning a possible swoop for the teenage centre-back.
Nonetheless, Spanish media outlet AS reported on Tuesday that Actual Madrid are able to spend €50m (41.7m) to signal the defender, whose father shared an article to his Instagram story (subsequently deleted) which displayed the print model of that report.
Will the lure of Actual Madrid be too good for Huijsen to show down?
Clearly it’d be leaping the gun to infer that the newly-capped Spain worldwide is unquestionably going to the Bernabeu simply due to his dad’s social media exercise, nevertheless it nonetheless appears like a telling clue from Huijsen senior.
The 19-year-old indicated that he was humbled by the hyperlinks with Actual Madrid, and it’s noteworthy that he opted to play for Spain regardless of being born within the Netherlands, who paradoxically offered the opposition for his senior debut for the European champions final week.
As we’ve seen with Tchouameni, Bellingham and now Trent, when Los Blancos need a participant they normally are likely to get them, and historical past means that Liverpool could must instigate fairly the allure offensive to steer the Bournemouth defender to decide on them over Carlo Ancelotti’s aspect.
The Reds could be in a stronger place than ordinary to attempt to entice Huijsen, although, with Arne Slot’s staff on track to win the Premier League (thus proving their means to win main silverware) and likewise set to have a serious centre-back void when Virgil van Dijk goes, both this summer season if he doesn’t renew his contract or within the coming years as our captain (34 in July) approaches the twilight of his profession.
Perhaps there was nothing extra to his father’s Instagram exercise than pleasure in seeing his son being linked with Actual Madrid. That’s what the Anfield hierarchy might be hoping in the event that they’re to keep away from but extra distress by the hands of Los Blancos.
