Borussia Dortmund reportedly appear to be interested in Juventus teenager Dean Huijsen, who has recently been on loan at Roma.
The 19-year-old is one of the most coveted young gems in the Bianconeri’s books. The Italians signed him from Malaga in 2021, incorporating him into their U-17 team.
However, the Dutchman managed to quickly move up the rankings. After brief stints with the Primavera and Next Gen teams, he was promoted to Max Allegri’s first team this summer along with his clever friend Kenan Yildiz.
But while the Turkish striker carved out a spot in the rotation, Huijsen managed to make an appearance for Juventus in Serie A, for which he ended up on loan at Roma in January.
The Spain Under-21 international has had his ups and downs in the Italian capital, but he has shown the kind of promise that has piqued the interest of several clubs.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Dortmund are interested in signing Huijsen and have already held talks with Juventus and the player’s entourage.
For their part, the Bianconeri will soon meet with the player’s father/agent, Donny Huijsen, to decide their next decision.
The Italian giants are open to a new loan or even a sale to generate budget for the next transfer window. The defender’s contract with the club is valid until 2028.
This season, the teenager has made 14 appearances in Serie A, contributing two and providing one assist.
Huijsen will return to Turin this summer, as Roma have the option to make his stay in the capital permanent, but it remains to be seen whether he will stay in Continassa or embark on a new experiment.
