The Spain youth international, 19, has a release clause for around £55million in his contract that kicks in come July.
Dean Huijsen is a summer transfer target for Manchester United
And the Dutch-born teenager's outstanding performances for the high-flying Cherries have caught the eye of Man United boss Ruben Amorim as the Portuguese coach plots his summer transfer moves.
But they are not alone, with Real Madrid, the Premier League's top sides and Germany's big clubs also interested in Huijsen as he matures under boss Andoni Iraola at Vitality Stadium.
Amorim may be without centre half Lisandro Martinez until the autumn as the Argentine has a cruciate ligament injury.
Victor Lindelof is out of contract at the end of the season.
Defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro have been criticised by Old Trafford legend Paul Scholes over their lack of quality.
Huijsen cost Bournemouth just £12.6m last summer from Juventus.
But he has impressed with his swift adaptation to English football and is now an integral part of a team which has achieved remarkable success this season.
Bournemouth are seventh in the Premier League with a chance to qualify for European football for the first time and Huijsen is at the heart of that.
The top flight's smallest club has also secured stunning results, beating champions Manchester City, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Amorim's United just before Christmas.
Bournemouth are aware of the mushrooming levels of interest in their player and in an ideal world would keep him.
But they are also realistic enough to know it would be difficult to turn down a mega offer this summer.
Amsterdam-born Huijsen, 19, started his career in Spain and is a citizen of that country after his family moved there when he was five.
He also played for Juventus but made only one appearance for them before being loaned to Serie A rivals Roma.
He was then sold to Bournemouth last summer.
