Big Premier League side out of the race for defender
Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen has been the top target for Liverpool this summer as they seek to sign him and Milos Kerkez in a £90m double deal from the Cherries.
However, Huijsen has been on the radar of other big clubs as well, with Chelsea believed to be in talks with his representatives to sign him for a £50m fee.
But according to EPL Index, Chelsea are now more or less out of the race to sign the centre-back in the upcoming transfer window.
The Blues held talks with his representatives, but it has been claimed that the defender is not interested in joining Chelsea and wants to play his football somewhere else.
The Bournemouth defender has reservations over the long contracts Chelsea hand out and wants to play for a team who are competing for the major trophies.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are also unlikely to sign him this summer, despite interest in the Spaniard.
Liverpool have now emerged as the frontrunners to take Huijsen to Anfield in the upcoming window.
