Dean Huijsen has been attracting interest from several Premier League clubs and has now shared a message with supporters while on international duty.
Huijsen has enjoyed a breakout season with Bournemouth following his move from Juventus last summer, quickly establishing himself as one of the league's brightest prospects.
His impressive performances have earned him a call-up to the Spain national team, with the EURO 2024 winners set to face the Netherlands on 23 March in the second leg of their Nations League tie after a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
Huijsen's displays haven't gone unnoticed, with several top clubs monitoring his progress. Football Insider revealed that Liverpool are plotting a move for Huijsen, who has a £50 million release clause in his contract—an asking price that has put multiple clubs on alert.
Despite the mounting speculation over his future, the defender remains focused and has provided an update to supporters after Spain’s recent fixture.

Despite ongoing transfer speculation, Huijsen took to Instagram after making his senior debut for Spain on 20 March, sharing his excitement with fans. He wrote: “It’s a dream come true to debut with my country’s national team. See you on Sunday, Spain” (translated from Spanish).
The post drew plenty of attention, with fellow Spanish internationals Marc Cucurella and Mikel Merino among those who liked it. Meanwhile, former Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke left a comment, saying: “Congrats bro.”
The 19-year-old has been a key figure for Andoni Iraola's side, playing every single Premier League minute since 5 December, an impressive run of 15 consecutive matches. Having started the season in a rotational role, he has since become an indispensable part of Bournemouth's defence.
His standout performances have caught the eye of multiple top clubs, with Chelsea and Manchester United fans urging their club to make a move for Huijsen.
