“He’s a player on the list” – Liverpool could sign Chelsea target if they miss out on Dean Huijsen, claims Fabrizio Romano

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Liverpool will move for Chelsea target Jorrel Hato if they fail to land Dean Huijsen. He claims that the AFC Bournemouth star is their main target, with the Ajax star as their backup option.

Romano claimed on his YouTube channel that Chelsea and Liverpool were fighting for Huijsen and Hato. He believes that the two sides are waiting for a decision from the Spaniard before starting talks with Ajax for the Dutchman. He said via TBR Football:

Huijsen has a £50 million release clause this summer and is interested in leaving AFC Bournemouth. Real Madrid are also interested in the defender, but are yet to make their move for him.

Jermaine Pennant spoke to AceOdds earlier this season and urged Liverpool to sign Dean Huijsen. He believes that the the Blues target is the perfect partner for Virgil van Dijk, who has signed a new contract at Anfield.

Pennant said:

Ibrahima Konate has not signed a new deal at Liverpool and is entering his final 12 months. He has interest from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Real Madrid.
