Liverpool continue to pursue a summer move for Dean Huijsen, on a day that has also seen a new Darwin Nunez update emerge.
Today’s Main LFC Headline
Posting on X on Tuesday, David Lynch said Liverpool are “keen to trigger” Huijsen’s £50 million release clause at Bournemouth this summer, adding more on his YouTube channel.
“The biggest spanner in the works could be Real Madrid, and by all accounts they would be the player’s preference because obviously he represents Spain and would love to play for Real Madrid, but it doesn’t seem at the moment like they’re gonna follow up on their interest,” Lynch said.
“That could leave Liverpool with a bit of a free run, and I think there’s no doubt that, if they do get that, Dean Huijsen would be a very smart signing.”
At just 19, Huijsen looks like a defender with huge potential, already becoming a regular for Bournemouth, so £50 million could end up being a steal!

It all felt surreal when Liverpool won the Premier League in 2020 – Joanna Durkan has taken a look back at the night of the trophy lift:
“Considering the circumstances, it was done in the best way possible and the Kop acted as the stage and embraced supporters’ contributions as best it could with banners nestled in the seats next to the platform.
“It was a collaborative effort from the players to make it as special as possible.
“And Sir Kenny Dalglish handing over the trophy was a magic moment, there was no better choice. You could feel the emotion you were feeling reflected in him throughout.”

Liverpool FC: On this day
On this day in 2006, Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-finals at Old Trafford.
A John Arne Riise free-kick and Luis Garcia stunner set the Reds on their way to victory, and while Didier Drogba pulled one back, Rafa Benitez’s side held on.
Liverpool went on to beat West Ham on penalties in a memorable final in Cardiff, thanks mainly to Gerrard’s heroics.
Also on this day in 2018, Mohamed Salah was named PFA Player of the Year – if he takes home the award this season, he will become the first-ever player to win it three times.
