Newcastle United F.C move to hijack the 19-year-old Juventus defender from Borussia Dortmund in this summer transfer window

According to a report by the Italian news agency Tuttosport, Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund are both interested in making a bid for Juventus defender Dean Huijsen this summer. Borussia Dortmund is also a strong contender for the player.

There is a widespread belief that the Toon Army is interested in the Serie A player as they search for possible reinforcements over the course of the next couple of months.

It is possible that Eddie Howe will consider Huijsen, who is currently 19 years old, to be a valuable long-term alternative for them in the back position.

HITC Sport has reported that other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur, are also keeping an eye on him in preparation for the forthcoming transfer window. He has been associated with a few clubs in recent times, and all of them are reportedly interested in signing him.

Following stints at Costa Unida CF and Malaga, the young player began his professional career in Spain. In 2021, Juventus made the decision to bring him to Italy, and he moved there.

In spite of the fact that Huijsen was born in Amsterdam, his family relocated to Marbella when he was a little child. From that point on, he goes on to represent Spain at the Under-21 level.

During the most recent season, he was loaned out to Roma in order to gain some experience under his belt. He has been a member of the Juventus Stadium roster for the past few years.

In spite of the fact that the center defender is expected to return to his original club for pre-season, his future is now uncertain due to rumors that he is being linked to Newcastle and other clubs.

Given that Huijsen is under contract with Juventus until 2028 and played 14 times for Roma during the previous season, the club is not under any obligation to sell him any time soon and can instead wait for the proper offer to come in front of them.
