Real Madrid’s Interest in Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen: A Potential Game-Changer
In the ever-evolving world of football transfers, Real Madrid is once again making headlines. This time, the Spanish giants are setting their sights on a young talent from the Premier League. According to a source, Real Madrid are considering signing Bournemouth‘s young centre-back Dean Huijsen for next season. This move could be a significant one for both the player and the club.
At just 19 years old, Huijsen has already made a name for himself as one of the Premier League‘s sensations. His recent international debut in the Nations League double-header against the Netherlands has only added to his growing reputation. The young defender has attracted huge praise in Spain, and it’s no surprise that Madrid is keen to bring him on board.
Initially, Madrid had plans to strengthen their squad at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold and intended to wait until 2026 to sign a centre-back. However, the club is now considering accelerating those plans. The reason? They are aware that other European giants will try to sign Huijsen this summer.
Huijsen’s contract with Bournemouth includes a €50 million ($54m) buy-out clause. Madrid is not ruling out the possibility of adding a player to make the deal more affordable. Interestingly, Andoni Iraola’s team has shown interest in Fran García in the past, which could play a role in negotiations.
At the Bernabéu, Huijsen’s personality, his ability to bring the ball out of play, his defensive strength, and his skill with both legs are highly valued. A source told ESPN that Madrid has been tracking the player for years. However, it was his confirmation in the elite and his impressive debut with the Spanish national team that has prompted Madrid to consider speeding up the operation.
Last summer, Madrid let Nacho leave and failed to strengthen the centre of defence despite coming close to signing Leny Yoro. This has left a gap that Huijsen could potentially fill.
Carlo Ancelotti, after Éder Militão‘s injury, found a solution in Raúl Asencio. Another source tells ESPN that Madrid is close to rewarding Asencio’s great performance in the first team with a renewal. Asencio, 22, was also called up to Spain’s squad for the matches against the Netherlands, and Madrid has decided to secure his long-term future by offering him a multi-season extension that includes a substantial pay rise.

In conclusion, Real Madrid’s interest in Dean Huijsen is a testament to the young defender’s talent and potential.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Madrid to see if they can secure this promising talent.
