Bournemouth have agreed a €15million deal with Juventus to sign defender Dean Huijsen.
The Premier League club have been in discussions with their Italian counterparts over a possible move, with the centre-back a player of interest to head coach Andoni Iraola.
Should everything go according to plan, the 19-year-old will undergo a medical and sign a five-year deal ahead of a proposed move to the Vitality Stadium.
Huijsen will become Bournemouth’s sixth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Luis Sinisterra, Enes Unal, Alex Paulsen, Daniel Jebbison and Koby Mottoh.

Born in Amsterdam, Huijsen moved to Spain at the age of five and began his youth career at Costa Unida, before moving to Malaga in 2015.
He joined Juventus in 2021 and having initially played for their Under-17s, he rose through the ranks to make one senior appearance for the club’s first team.
Huijsen spent last season on loan at Roma and made 14 appearances in Serie A, scoring two goals.
He will be joining a side who impressed in England’s top flight last season, having secured a 12th-placed finish.
Bournemouth begin their Premier League campaign away at Nottingham Forest on August 17, followed by clashes against Newcastle United and Everton in the same month.
