Bournemouth, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg and AS Monaco are all interested in signing the defender and it will not be easy for Villa to win the race for his signature.
Huijsen joined AS Roma on loan last season and impressed on his loan spell in the Italian capital.
Aston Villa can take advantage of Juve’s needs
Villa may take full advantage of Juventus’ efforts to generate money by signing the 19-year-old this summer.
The youngster is expected to decide his next club soon with a number of options on his table at the moment.
Villa might be the best move for his career at this stage as Emery is known to improve the level of young players and exposure in the Champions League next season would be a huge attraction.
