Real Madrid have reportedly moved swiftly and decisively to secure the signature of Bournemouth’s highly-rated centre-back, Dean Huijsen. They have agreed to trigger his £50 million release clause.
This significant move highlights the Spanish giants’ intent to secure their defensive ranks with youthful talent. Especially with the anticipated arrival of Xabi Alonso as the new manager. Huijsen, a Netherlands-born Spanish international, has impressed mightily during his debut Premier League season with the Cherries. He has showed maturity and composure despite his young age.
His performances haven’t gone unnoticed across Europe. Real Madrid have seemingly won the race for his coveted signature, fending off interest from several top English clubs. This acquisition is seen as a key part of Madrid’s summer rebuild, aiming to build a strong foundation for the future.
The swift nature of this transfer suggests that Real Madrid, likely at the behest of the incoming Alonso, identified Huijsen as a priority target. The club are keen to finalize the deal quickly, with the aim of having the talented defender available for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup in the United States.
Interestingly, the transfer fee will be paid in installments, with Huijsen’s former clubs, Juventus and Malaga, also set to receive a percentage of the sum. This move represents a significant profit for Bournemouth, who signed the defender from Juventus just last summer.
For Huijsen, this is a dream move back to Spain, where he spent his formative years, and a chance to compete at the highest level with one of the world’s most prestigious clubs. The football world will be watching keenly to see how this promising young defender adapts to the demands of the Santiago Bernabéu.
