Dean Huijsen Nears Real Madrid Move After Medical in London

Dean Huijsen is in London undergoing medical tests as he closes in on a move from Bournemouth to Real Madrid for £50 million. Both clubs have approved the transfer, and the defender is expected to sign his contract soon. He will join his new team for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

TRANSFER DETAILS

Real Madrid and Bournemouth have agreed on the signing of Huijsen, allowing the Spanish international to travel for medical tests in London. The 20-year-old centre-back joined Bournemouth from Juventus last summer and has quickly become one of the top young defenders in the Premier League. He made 30 league appearances this season, helping Bournemouth finish 10th and secure a mid-table position far from relegation worries.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR REAL MADRID AND BOURNEMOUTH

The transfer marks a major step up for Huijsen, who is moving to La Liga and is expected to play for Real Madrid at the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. Real Madrid finished their league campaign as champions, and Huijsen will strengthen their central defense next season, giving them more options alongside their established stars. For Bournemouth, the transfer represents an impressive profit after signing Huijsen from Juventus for £12.8 million just a year ago. Their Premier League top-half finish provides them with the resources to reinvest in the squad.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR HUIJSEN AND REAL MADRID

With his medical tests underway and contract signing ready, Huijsen is set to join Real Madrid in time for their Club World Cup campaign. Madrid are preparing for the tournament as Spanish champions and aim to make a strong showing. Their next competitive fixtures will be at the FIFA Club World Cup, where Huijsen could make his debut. Next season, their defensive lineup is expected to be even stronger, while Bournemouth will look to use their transfer windfall to improve their squad ahead of the Premier League’s new campaign.
