Liverpool targets Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen with a formal €70 million bid this summer. Manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes aim to strengthen their defense by prying Huijsen away from the Bernabeu. The Spain international, signed by Madrid from Bournemouth for €62.5 million in 2025, has had a mixed season in La Liga. Despite being under contract until 2030, Liverpool sees an opportunity amid Huijsen's uncertain standing with his current coaching staff.
The Premier League champions believe his skills fit the demanding English game, providing a long-term solution for their backline. With Ibrahima Konate and Rhys Williams out of contract soon and Joe Gomez injury-prone, Liverpool seeks depth. Madrid, however, plans to bolster its defense as Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba also face contract expirations. Selling Huijsen would require serious consideration from Los Blancos.
