Premier League Giants Set to Battle for £50m Bournemouth Defender

Premier League clubs are set to battle for the signature of AFC Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, with Real Madrid opting against making a move.

The Athletic reports that Madrid feel the Spain international's £50m release clause is too expensive for a 19-year-old. Huijsen, who this week refused to deny he'd be interested in a move to the Bernabeu, is now likely to stay in England -- and he won't be short of suitors. The report states that Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool will lead the race, with Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur also interested -- and all five clubs have spoken to the player's representatives over recent days.

Aston Villa Could Face PSG Competition for Marcus Rashford

Aston Villa could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain to sign Marcus Rashford from Manchester United this summer, The Sun reports. While Villa have a permanent transfer option built into the winger's loan agreement, his high salary could be prohibitive. If they fail to agree a deal, PSG could become a viable option once again for Rashford, who almost joined the Ligue 1 side in 2022. According to the report, Rashford has revived talks with PSG sporting director Luis Campos over a potential move.

Man Utd Striker Rasmus Højlund Attractive to Juventus

Out-of-form Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund could be one of the players through the exit door at Old Trafford in the summer, and Tuttosport reports that a transfer to Juventus would be attractive. Juve are interested in taking Højlund on loan, perhaps with a permanent option, and there have been exploratory contacts. The Denmark international, who has scored only three Premier League goals this season, could make the move to Turin in time for this summer's FIFA Club World Cup.
