According to a report from Fichajes, Andoni Iraola has asked Liverpool about potential signings, and one of his priorities is Real Madrid centre-back Dean Huijsen. Dean Huijsen was a key player for Iraola at Bournemouth last season. It is suggested that an opportunity for clubs to move for Dean Huijsen could arise this summer. The move is described as being logical for all parties involved, given Liverpool’s need for defensive signings and Iraola’s connections with the player.

Dean Huijsen is being linked with a return to the Premier League, and Liverpool is interested in signing him. According to reports from Spain, Liverpool would be willing to pay €70 million to sign Dean Huijsen. The 20-year-old has previously played in the Premier League with Bournemouth. It is not clear whether Real Madrid is willing to allow him to leave. Real Madrid paid €50 million for Dean Huijsen. Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, knows the player well from his time at Bournemouth and might be able to convince him to return to England.

During a press conference with his coach Xabi Alonso before Real Madrid's match against Liverpool, 20-year-old Spanish international defender Dean Huijsen was asked about reported interest from the English club in the summer. He responded that Real Madrid is a dream and he wanted to play for the best team in the world. Huijsen added that he fits well into Xabi's ideas and the club's plan, and that he is very happy. The defender joined Real Madrid in June 2025 and has made 9 appearances in LaLiga this season. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €70.00m.
