PSG Moves to Outbid Liverpool and Newcastle for Juventus Defender as Transfer Fee Proves a Hurdle

Paris Saint-Germain are seriously considering signing Dean Huijsen, Juventus’ center-back who spent last season on loan at AS Roma.

LOSC Lille’s standout defender Leny Yoro has his heart set on joining Real Madrid. As a result, the reigning Ligue 1 champions will need to consider alternative options to reinforce their center-back position.

Tuttosport reports that Huijsen has agreed to join PSG, extending the contract until 2029. PSG initially offered €20 million, a sum deemed low by Juve, who are seeking at least €30 million.

The question remains whether PSG will increase their offer in the coming hours since manager Luis Enrique is reportedly a big admirer of Huijsen. PSG values his athleticism, height, age, and dual-footed playing ability.

Recent information from TuttoJuve.com indicates that PSG and Bayern Munich have made significant progress in their negotiations. Additionally, Dortmund, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leverkusen, Leipzig, and Stuttgart are closely monitoring the defender’s situation.

Huijsen played 26 matches for Roma last season during his loan stint, scoring two goals and providing two assists.
