To sign Huijsen, Maresca’s side face competition from Tottenham. Huijsen has a release clause in his contract worth £50 million but Bournemouth are ready to increase that since they know that the player will be high in demand in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham have shown interest in securing a summer transfer for Huijsen. Spurs have reportedly made contact with the agents of the Bournemouth defender. The 19-year-old central defender, who made the move to Bournemouth from Juventus in the summer of 2024, has caught attention this season by scoring two goals in 21 Premier League matches. With a release clause of £50 million set to become active in the summer, Huijsen is considered a promising talent, and Bournemouth is eager to extend his contract to raise the clause amount. However, it is understood that Huijsen is aware of the demand for his abilities and is expected to transfer during the summer window. Tottenham is facing competition from Chelsea and Manchester United, both of whom have also reached out to Huijsen's agents.
