Liverpool and Aston Villa are targeting a move for the same player this summer.
The Reds have been quiet in their transfer business so far this summer with no signings at all.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have made a number of good additions to their squad including midfielder Amadou Onana from Everton.
Both clubs are now vying for Juventus defender Dean Huijsen, according to Football Insider.
The young centre-back has been a long-term target of the clubs and they see him as a star of the future.
Huijsen impressed during his loan spell at Roma last season and has since caught the attention of clubs in England.
Juventus have no intention of letting the player leave the club this summer and the fact that he has a contract with the club until 2028 shows Juve’s intention to keep the player for a long time.
Both Liverpool and Aston Villa are looking for a new midfielder this summer.
The Reds need a partner for Virgil Van Dijk in their defense and Unai Emery wants to add depth and quality to his squad ahead of Villa’s first season in the Champions League.
In addition to Villa, Liverpool are desperate for new defensive signings after losing Joel Matip this summer after his contract expired.
It remains to be seen who wins the race to sign a defender but it all depends on what Juventus plan to do with the young midfielder.
