Juventus regrets releasing Dean Huijsen after impressive showing at Bournemouth

Juventus is facing consequences of their questionable transfer decisions — particularly regarding young player Dean Huijsen who is now showing impressive performance at Bournemouth.

The 20-year-old Spanish defender left Turin for 20 million euros after previously spending a loan spell at AS Roma in early 2024.

Juventus’ decision to release their academy product has now come under scrutiny — given Huijsen’s excellent displays for Bournemouth that have even attracted Real Madrid’s interest in this summer’s transfer window.

Huijsen’s situation adds to the long list of Juventus’ management mistakes in handling young players under sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.
