Fabrizio Romano reveals Man Utd can sign ‘New Leny Yoro’ for £50m | OneFootball

Manchester United would be able to sign Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen for £50 million thanks to a release clause inserted in his contract.

The Cherries arguably pulled off one of the best coups of last summer’s transfer market when they signed the talented young defender from Juventus for just £13 million.

After a relatively slow start to the campaign, the Dutch Spaniard slowly but surely emerged as a pillar at the back for the Champions League hopefuls. He even scored the opener against the Red Devils at Old Trafford in a fixture that his team went on to win by three unanswered goals.

The 19-year-old central defender has been putting up eye-opening displays for Andoni Iraola’s side, thus earning himself a host of suitors in the process, including Man United and Real Madrid who could be set to duel to replicate their Leny Yoro tug-of-war from last summer.

Many feel the teenager would be ideal for Ruben Amorim’s system as he’s capable of playing in a three-man backline. His imposing statute combined with his technical attributes render him a natural fit for one of the slots at the back.

But while he certainly won’t come cheap, Fabrizio Romano reveals that the Red Devils would be able to lure him thanks to a buy-out clause worth £50 million.

“Dean Huijsen’s contract at Bournemouth includes £50m release clause,” posted the famous transfer expert on his X account.

“The clause is 100% confirmed as revealed in January. It will be valid from the summer of 2025. The 19-year-old defender attracting top clubs interest after excellent performances at Bournemouth this season.”

Huijsen started his career at Malaga before being poached by Juventus in 2021. Last season, he spent the second half of the campaign on loan at Roma after being personally requested by Jose Mourinho who is an avid admirer of his. Unfortunately for the Special One, he was sacked shortly following the player’s arrival, but the latter still found space under Daniele De Rossi.
