The former defender of Juventus Dean Huijsen should be one of the great movers from the summer transfer window, and the Bianconeri have several reasons to hope that he joins Chelsea de Bournemouth after an impressive season of the first league breakthrough.
Huijsen went through the Malaga Academy, then Juventus, representing the next generation in 2023-24 before joining Roma under loan under Jose Mourinho for the second half of this season.

The opportunities in the first Juventus team did not arrive for Huijsen, which was then sold in Bournemouth for a total amount in the region of 18 million euros. Now, with a release clause of just under 60 million euros (50 million pounds sterling), the recently capped Spanish international could be sold for a significant profit after only one year on the South English coast.

Why Juventus Hope Huijsen joins Chelsea
Juventus has negotiated a 10% sales clause at the time of the sale of Huijsen in Bournemouth, which means that they will be entitled to costs of just under 6 million euros if its release clause is activated this summer.
For two main reasons, Juventus hopes that Chelsea is the club to persuade Huijsen this summer.

First, the signing of a new central defender would probably confirm that there is no place in the first team plans for Renato Veiga, who is currently loaned by Chelsea to Juventus.

Tuttosport reports suggest that the old lady is eager to keep Veiga on board and that they could seek to renegotiate a new set of loan conditions for the 2025-26 season.
For this reason, Huijsen joining Chelsea would also be practical, because the money collected from the Liberation clause of Huijsen could be immediately reinvested in a new offer to Chelsea for Veiga.
Tuesday reports claim that the Bianconeri could seek to negotiate a new loan agreement throughout the season for Veiga, with an option or perhaps even a purchase obligation.
