GIVE ME SPORT reported Tuesday that Bournemouth expect Huijsen’s £50 million release clause to be triggered this summer, and if he stays in the Premier League, Liverpool are seen as the most likely destination.

Instead of targeting a like-for-like replacement, Arne Slot is reportedly open to a tactical shift. Liverpool may move away from relying on a full-back stepping into midfield to dictate play — as Trent Alexander-Arnold often did — and instead lean more on a central defender’s distribution to control the tempo.

The club views Huijsen as a ball-playing center-back who can quickly move the ball into midfield and also deliver incisive passes to the flanks with strong decision-making.
