Last week, Tuttosport stated Newcastle United are at the window to sign Dean Huijsen in the summer window. It was also said Juventus technical director Cristiano Giuntoli is keen to sell the defender and maintains close ties with the Premier League side.
Gazzetta dello Sport say the defender is on the ‘verge of leaving’ the Serie A side as he’s not included in their plans.
The 19-year-old’s camp has been working to find a new club, and Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund are among the teams that like him.
It’s claimed the focus is on the Magpies and BVB as these two clubs have ‘moved more than others’ to try and secure the centre-back’s services.
Despite wanting to sell the Spain U21 international, the report says Juve will need at least €30m to sanction his sale this summer. The Turin club could also use the youngster as part of a deal to sign Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners.
Huijsen’s entourage will soon have a meeting with Giuntoli to sort out his future. Gazzetta add the Old Lady are ready to sell him to a foreign club and are starting to speed up the player’s exit process. This would certainly favour Newcastle and the Bundesliga side.
