Man Utd make approach for £26m Spurs target who Jose Mourinho loves

Posted by

The summer transfer window appears to have opened for Manchester United, and Gleison Bremer of Juventus is one of their top targets at centre defence. Last week, rumours circulated that United would be “willing” to make an offer the Bianconeri would not be able to reject.

Bremer has been designated as a priority during the forthcoming window by Erik ten Hag and company, and thankfully, Juventus has already started to consider possible replacements. Putting your trust in 18-year-old Dean Huijsen, who is now on loan at Roma, is one potential option, but it turns out that United might also put a spanner in the works there.

Spurs and United compete for Huijsen.

Manchester United has reportedly made an attempt to sign Huijsen, according to Italian publication ASRomaLive, via Sport Witness. Borussia Dortmund of the Bundesliga and Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League are two more teams that have contacted Juventus over the teenager.


Many major European teams have been “bewitched” by Huijsen’s performances this season; Atletico Madrid and PSG are two more that are keeping an eye on him. Juventus is willing to discuss selling him for a price of about €30 million (£26 million), but they will not loan him out again.

Huijsen now has the necessary platform thanks to Roma.

This was a player that very few people outside of Italy, or even outside of Juventus, would have known about in the first half of the season. Prior to Christmas, Huijsen only made one appearance for the senior team—a substitution in a 1-0 victory over AC Milan—and he was usually included in the matchday squad but never saw the pitch. He was actually playing most of his action with the Turin side’s youth squad in Serie C.

However, Roma have taken a leap of faith, starting him three games and introducing him off the bench on four occasions since his mid-season arrival. In the Stadio Olimpico, he even made the starting lineup against Inter, the team at the top of the table.

Jose Mourinho, United’s former manager who brought Huijsen to the capital before losing his job, gave Spurs and United a great review. He declared: “At this age group, he is among the best prospects in European football.” He is going to be a fantastic football player.”

The defender, who was born in the Netherlands but is now set to play for Spain, made an impression on Cagliari with an incredible goal in which he picked up the ball on the halfway line, drove to the edge of the box (beating two players en route), and bent it into the far corner. Ahead of a fierce competition for his signature this summer, it was a sneak peek at the special skill set that has mesmerised some of the continental best.
