Man Utd and Tottenham willing to offer £26m for Dean Huijsen

manchester united and Tottenham Hotspur will fight for talented young Juventus central defender Dean Huijsen, according to reports TuttoJuve.

The report states that the first division Clubs are “willing to offer” £26m for the exciting 18-year-old centre-back at the end of the season and are closely monitoring his progress.

The Dutchman is highly rated in Europe and Juventus will be desperate to retain him in the summer. The Italian club values ​​him very highly and hope to make him a first team player for the club.

Huijsen has a contract with Juventus until the summer of 2027 and there is still no pressure to sell him. The player is currently on loan at Italian club Roma and has already made seven appearances for the first team in all competitions.

He will hope to play more often next season and it will be interesting to see if teams like Manchester United and Tottenham are willing to give him guarantees of playing time to tempt him away from Turin.

In any case, the English clubs will have to convince Juventus first. He has a long-term contract with them and the Italian club will have the final say.

Huijsen could be a useful option in the squad

There is no doubt that the Dutchman would be a quality signing for both clubs. Manchester United need defensive depth and Huijsen could be an important player for them during the rotation and cup games. He could become a regular starter with experience and training.

At Tottenham he could also be a useful player in the squad. They have three veteran defenders: Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin. Someone like Huijsen could complete their defensive unit for the foreseeable future and provide Ange Postecoglou with a solid foundation to build on.

We will have to wait and see how things develop, but it seems that Tottenham and Man Utd are ready to fight to sign Huijsen. Would £26m be enough to tempt Juve into a deal? Only time will tell…
