Real Madrid is said to be the favorite to sign Bournemouth center-back Dean Huijsen this summer, despite interest from a number of Premier League clubs including Liverpool.

Huijsen, who was signed by Bournemouth from Juventus last summer, has a $66 million (£50 million) release clause written into his contract.

Chelsea, Newcastle United and Arsenal are among those to have been linked with a summer transfer move for Huijsen.

The 20-year-old's transfer fee would be relatively modest and is fixed, so his next destination will come down to other factors.

Ibrahima Konate will only have one year left on his contract this summer which could increase the need for Liverpool to sign a new defender, even after Virgil van Dijk penned new terms at Anfield.

Dean Huijsen has been linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer.

But if Real Madrid was to sign Huijsen, that might mean it is less likely to try and repeat the Alexander-Arnold trick by signing the Frenchman on a free transfer.

Raul Asencio and Aurelien Tchouameni started for Real Madrid in its 4-3 Clasico defeat against Barcelona at the weekend, so there would definitely be space on its roster for a talented up-and-coming star like Huijsen.
