He told Sky Sports: "We don’t really know what is going to happen in the summer, we are still focused on other things, but right now all the players are ours and, if nothing happens, they will continue to be ours next season also. So I don’t think it’s going to be different from other summers. We will focus on trying to improve the team, and add new players if we can, and if some player leaves because someone comes with what the club considers to be a good offer, we have to be ready for those situations, but not with fear. It is something that all the clubs, especially the ones who are not at the highest level like the top, top teams, have to get used to."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Huijsen has been linked with top Premier League sides and even Real Madrid and Bayern Munich amid a stellar season for Bournemouth. The Spain international, who only signed from Juventus in 2024 for £15 million ($20m), has a £50m ($67m) release clause and it seems he won't be short of options this summer.
