Tag: Dean Huijsen

6ft5 defender who scored a “magic” solo goal is wanted by Liverpool.

According to rumours, Liverpool is still keen to sign one of the best centre-back prospects available.

They’re not alone, though, in their desire for Dean Huijsen. According to Football Insider, Liverpool is still vying for Dean Huijsen.

Aston Villa also agrees with them, considering him to be “one for the future.” You would be shocked if they didn’t, though, at 19.

Huijsen and Liverpool have been connected many times before. The centre back, who played frequently in the second half of the season after joining AS Roma on loan from Juventus in January, has had an interesting season.

Among them was an incredible goal that was called “magic” on the Serie A YouTube account. After Huijsen took up the ball on the halfway line, he broke through the middle of Frosinone and outran a pressing forward. He dribbled past another defender and curled it into the far corner after carrying it all the way to the edge of the box.

It’s also important to remember that Huijsen was jeered by them every time he touched the ball because he turned down an offer from Frosinone. Tensions were so great that he was substituted off at halftime because he was booked for his celebrations.

To put it another way, flawless football.

Liverpool and Dean Huijsen

With Joel Matip’s departure, Liverpool does have room in their roster for a centre-back, but it could be argued that Jarell Quansah already did so a long time ago. In that scenario, it’s difficult to see how the Reds could provide Huijsen with the first-team experience he would desire.

Given that he has a contract with Juventus through 2028, they are also unlikely to let him go cheap. Therefore, even for a player as good as he is, Liverpool wouldn’t necessarily need to pay that much money for him.

This one just doesn’t stack up for this summer, so we’re not sure if it will happen. While we wouldn’t completely rule it out, we’d prefer to see more from Quansah than Huijsen.

Liverpool is getting ready to spend €65 million for a long term Mohamed Salah replacement

Liverpool will not lose Mohamed Salah this summer, but the team is still preparing for life without him.

The Egyptian’s future at the team is still unknown as he approaches the penultimate year of his contract at Anfield and has been linked to moves away from the team during that time.

Under previous boss Jurgen Klopp, the right-winger has contributed to the Reds’ victories in both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Given the uncertainty surrounding his long-term future at Liverpool, the Reds are planning to sign a replacement.

The Japanese newspaper Sports Nippon claims that Liverpool may be considering Real Sociedad’s Takefusa Kubo, a right winger.

Kubo has been connected to a move to Liverpool since January.

Despite rumours that he would be Jurgen Klopp’s last addition to the Reds, the Japanese international continued to play well for the La Liga outfit.

Since joining Real Sociedad in 2022 from Real Madrid, Kubo has demonstrated enormous potential.

At the age of 23, he has already made a name for himself as one of La Liga’s best players.

Liverpool is pursuing the Japanese international and intends to pay a transfer fee of approximately €65 million for him.

They are also willing to give the 23-year-old £240,000 a week in salary. It is evident that the Reds are getting ready to play without Salah, who may depart the team in the summer of 2019.

Mo Salah will be hard for Liverpool to replace

Similar to Salah, Kubo is a left-footed right-winger who enjoys cutting inside to create chances and score goals.

Kubo has shown promise in La Liga, but he will need to increase his goal total to take Salah’s place.

Salah’s twenty-four goals for the Reds dwarf the seven goals the Sociedad winger scored in the previous campaign.

Liverpool ‘advancing’ on several signings

Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool is preparing for a late-window signing spree, with talks on several moves.

The Merseyside club is negotiating many transactions following Liverpool’s quiet transfer market thus far in the post-Jurgen Klopp era.

After the retirements of Thiago, Adrian, and Joel Matip, Anfield has not welcomed any new first-team players.

That is about to change as the team works to address the problems that beset the team throughout last season’s collapse of their title campaign.

For new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool is attempting to sign a wide forward, a centre-back, and a defensive midfielder.

On July 22, Football Insider reported that Liverpool and Aston Villa are competing to sign Juventus centre-back Dean Huijsen.

Liverpool is working on several deals, as negotiations continue in the coming days

Klopp was not allowed to spend the enormous sums of money that Chelsea and Manchester City, his competitors, could afford while he was at the club.

As a result, unlike rivals Man City, who are replete with talent, Liverpool now have a tiny pool of elite players and few squad choices that may affect a game.

In order to expand on Klopp’s efforts, Mohamed Salah, 32, and Virgil Van Dyke, 33, will need to be replaced as soon as possible.

Liverpool’s title challenge from the previous season collapsed as they lost five of their last eight Premier League games, including a 2-0 loss to Everton, their local rivals.

Liverpool can finalise three deals this week as the impact of Arne Slot increases

Who stays behind could provide a significant hint as to who will be departing Liverpool this summer as the team prepares for its tour of the United States.

We have arrived at the Arne Slot era’s first significant milestone. But the new Liverpool head coach will have a clearer understanding of his playing staff when the next two weeks come around.

Following a friendly encounter played behind closed doors on Friday versus Preston North End, the Reds will play three glamorous warm-up matches against Real Betis, Arsenal, and Manchester United in the United States on Tuesday.

And who crosses the Atlantic—or, perhaps more importantly, who doesn’t—will provide a significant clue as to whether players would be better off looking for new pastures before the transfer window ends.

There will be plenty of opportunity for teenagers and periphery players to be included in the travelling party, since 11 of Liverpool’s 14 representatives at the European Championships and Copa America are yet to return. Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker are the next in line and might form a partnership during the US tour.

Rhys Williams and Billy Koumetio, two players at centre back, are almost probably not going to travel. Both have been training with the under-21 team rather than the first team, and they are getting ready to go. While Koumetio has drawn interest from a number of clubs, including Scottish Premiership side Dundee United, Williams has attracted interest from League One and Turkey.

Although Jarell Quansah is the only acknowledged center-back available while Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, and Joe Gomez are on their three-week holidays, Sepp van den Berg and Nat Phillips are also expected to leave Liverpool this summer. The two will be needed in the United States.

It is more likely that any other impending departure will be on loan. Dominic Corness did not play in the friendly versus Preston despite having a successful season in Switzerland and participating in preseason training at first. Tom Hill, goalkeepers Marcelo Pitaluga and Fabian Mrzoek, and Jayden Danns, who sustained a slight injury, were also ruled out of action. It is anticipated that not all will visit the United States, which may allow for at least one temporary exit.

Liverpool loses Leny Yoro to Manchester United, therefore they decide to chase a quality centre back

This summer, Liverpool plans to add a new centre back to complement seasoned player Virgil Van Dijk.

Leny Yoro, a defender for Lille who ultimately joined Manchester United in the Premier League, was linked to the Reds.

Arne Slot joined Anfield after Jurgen Klopp left, but he is still searching for his first summer acquisition.

The Merseyside club has declared Juventus centre-back Dean Huijsen their main centre-back target, according to a Football Insider report.

According to the report, Aston Villa is also interested in hiring the defender.

The Reds’ top objective has always been to buy a new defender after losing centre-back Joel Matip to free agency this summer.

Yoro, Goncalo Inacio, Marc Guehi, and several other centre backs have been linked to Liverpool this summer.

The young Juventus defender, who excelled with his performances while on loan at Roma last season, now appears ready to be pursued.

He is the top target for the Premier League’s biggest clubs this summer, and his presence might be vital to Liverpool’s defensive choices in light of Van Dijk’s uncertain future with the team.

The Dutchman is nearing the end of his Anfield deal, and the Reds need to sign a trustworthy defender soon because there are speculations that he may play in the Saudi Pro League.

The Serie A powerhouses Juventus have the upper hand in any future transfer negotiations with the Spanish defender since he is bound to a long-term deal there that expires in June 2028.

This summer, Liverpool needs to sign another defensive player.

The 6-foot-5-inch teenage defender can provide physical support to the Liverpool defence.

Joe Gomez, Jarrel Quansah, and Ibrahima Konate are the current alternatives available to the Merseyside club to partner Van Dijk.

Quansah lacks sufficient top-level experience, Konate has had fitness difficulties, while Gomez has primarily been utilised as a full-back and is only competent as a backup.

Less than a month separates Slot from the Premier League season, therefore the team needs a new defender who can train with the team and become accustomed to the manager’s style of play.

33-year-old confirms joining Barcelona after leaving Liverpool this summer.

Thiago Alcantara, 33, left Liverpool at the end of the season. Barcelona has acknowledged that he is temporarily back on the pitch.

The Spaniard chose to retire from sports after leaving Anfield, and it appears that he has chosen to pursue a career in coaching for the next phase of his life.

In order to “gain experience” before making a longer-term decision, Thiago has joined Hansi Flick’s coaching staff for Barcelona’s pre-season training, the Catalan team announced on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old may decide to stay with the La Liga team for the 2024–2025 season, albeit there is currently no commitment to do so.

Because they shared the 2019–20 Bayern Munich treble, Thiago and Flick have a close bond. The Spaniard’s intelligence would have been evident to the German coach, who probably used that information to lure him to his coaching staff.

Even if Thiago simply plays for the rest of the preseason, this is a wise decision for the 33-year-old so early in his retirement.

What led Thiago to choose retirement?

Even though Thiago was one of the most talented players of his generation, his career was marred by injuries, therefore it is unlikely that he will be recognised with the greats.

The 33-year-old’s decision to retire was perhaps influenced by the fact that he only played five minutes during the 2023–2024 season. The Spaniard might no longer have faith in his physique.

The former Barcelona player may have been content with his career after representing both Liverpool and the Catalan team.

The former midfield player has two Champions League medals in his collection and has won everything in Germany and Spain. Though it’s unclear if he can do the same as a coach, Thiago plans to try in the upcoming years.

Incredible prediction about the new Liverpool transfer target have been made by Jose Mourinho.

During the summer transfer window, Dean Huijsen has been linked to a move to Liverpool. When the Juventus defender joined Roma on loan, Jose Mourinho gave him high expectations.

This summer, Liverpool might be in the market for a new defender, and Jose Mourinho has backed their newest target for greatness.

According to TuttoJuve, Anfield is showing interest in Dean Huijsen ahead of the summer window. The youthful Dutch defender is one of Italian football’s greatest talents, and he may soon be eligible to transfer to the Premier League.

The 19-year-old, who joined their Serie A rivals in early January, spent the second half of the previous season on loan at Roma from Juventus. When the decision was made, Mourinho was in control, but their time together was short because he was fired less than two weeks later.

But Mourinho was very explicit about his level of confidence in Huijsen’s ability when the centre back was bought. His declaration that he is among the best possibilities in all of European football is encouraging for Liverpool, should the club decide to make a move.

“I think we all know who he is,” Mourinho said. “He’s an eighteen-year-old kid with 10 minutes in Serie A, but at this age, he’s one of the best prospects in European football.” “In the future, he will be a fantastic football player.”

Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle United are said to have shown interest in Huijsen as well. He wants to play more regular first-team football at the top level, and his agents are now in negotiations with Juventus about his future.

He represented Roma in 13 Serie A games last season. Despite having few first-team appearances at Juventus thus far, he last summer inked a new contract that would extend until 2027.

The 6ft5 defender played for his native Netherlands up till the Under-19 level. He has played for Spain Under-21s, but he is also a Spanish citizen because his family moved to Marbella when he was five years old.

“Thank you, wonderful Roma, for these 6 months full of emotions, I had the privilege of experiencing your passion for this team and these colours,” he wrote in a recent social media parting tribute to Roma.

Despite Jarell Quansah’s rise, Liverpool may try to strengthen its defence options under new manager Arne Slot in the summer after losing Joel Matip. Sepp van den Berg is one player who will have an opportunity to shine. He had a successful loan stint at Mainz and will now play under Slot throughout the preseason before a decision is made over whether to cash in on his services or not, as clubs all across Europe are interested in him.

According to Liverpool.com, Mourinho is still a decent talent assessor even though he’s not the boss he once was. Furthermore, based on his assessment of Huijsen’s potential, Liverpool could have a legitimate player on their hands if they want to pursue the kid.
