Huijsen’s rise to prominence since late 2024 has been rapid, and he is fully expected to leave the Cherries after just one season in the summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are scrambling for the 20-year-old’s signature.

Real Madrid are also monitoring the situation, and Huijsen would jump at the chance to join Los Blancos, but they have yet to make a final decision on whether to sign a centre-back in the upcoming window.

Romano expects are relatively swift resolution to Huijsen’s future, with all parties keen to get the move over the line as soon as possible. It is therefore likely that the defender will already choose his next club this month.

Chelsea to beat Liverpool?

Chelsea have been described as the favourites to secure the signature of the talented youngster in recent weeks, and TEAMtalk now confirms that the Blues have managed to secure buy-in from Huijsen.

The West London giants have offered the Amsterdam-born wonderkid a ‘competitive’ deal that will ‘grow in value over time’ in line with their incentive-driven contract policy.

Huijsen is said to be ‘very interested’ in linking up with Enzo Maresca’s squad after Chelsea outlined his ‘crucial’ role in their side next season. Their pitch, it is claimed, has been hugely successful.

Liverpool have also been pushing hard in talks with Huijsen’s camp, but Chelsea are offering a better financial package. Should the Blues secure Champions League qualification, it will be tough for the reigning Premier League champions to convince the player.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are still lurking in the background. Should they decide to activate their pursuit of Huijsen, they will pose a genuine threat to Chelsea and Liverpool.
