WHAT HAPPENED?
The Dutch-born Spain Under-21 international, Dean Huijsen, has revealed that Real Madrid is one of several European giants pursuing his signature. Reports indicate that Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich are also vying for the highly sought-after defender, who has drawn widespread attention following his performances for Bournemouth and Spain. Real Madrid’s defensive struggles, with long-term injuries to players like Éder Militao and David Alaba, have reportedly made Huijsen and RB Leipzig defender Castello Lukeba top targets for the summer transfer window.
THE BIGGER PICTURE:
Huijsen has kept his options open for a potential move to a top club. He has previously expressed his dream of competing in the Champions League while emphasizing his focus on Bournemouth for the remainder of the season. Speculation persists about his future, with a £50 million release clause at Bournemouth reportedly drawing interest from major clubs. Real Madrid has been intensifying its scouting efforts on Huijsen, and Bayern Munich has aggressively pushed to seal a deal early in the summer. Chelsea is allegedly willing to meet the buyout fee and offer a more lucrative salary, further fueling the transfer race.
WHAT NEXT?
Addressing rumors about a potential move to Madrid, Huijsen told Chiringuito TV, “One of my close friends sent me a story that came out about my being linked to Real Madrid. He told me, ‘You have to go to Real Madrid.’ I honestly haven’t thought about those things yet. I’m focused on trying to pick up something now and, at the end of the season, when we see how it ends, we’ll see where I watch the cameras from. If I watch them in May from here or from elsewhere.” Huijsen’s comments reflect his focus on the current campaign, suggesting any potential transfer decision will be made after the season concludes.
