- Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool All Interested But Real Madrid Are The Favourites To Sign Dean Huijsen
Real Madrid have contacted Dean Huijsen’s representatives as they aim to finalize a deal to sign the Bournemouth star early this summer.
Huijsen’s £50 million release clause in his Bournemouth contract has attracted interest from clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, since the player prioritizes a move to Real Madrid, Los Blancos have moved to the front of the queue to begin negotiations.
Dean Huijsen has experienced a meteoric rise in the last two years. He progressed from a promising talent at Juventus to a loan spell at AS Roma before securing a permanent move to Premier League side AFC Bournemouth. He has since established himself as one of the best young defenders in the world.
Real Madrid Will Fit £50million Dean Huijsen Into Their Summer Plans
With Real Madrid anticipating a summer of significant changes—including the expected arrival of Xabi Alonso—Los Blancos plan to strengthen their squad with players suited to the Spanish coach’s possession-focused style.
Huijsen, just 20 years old, stands out as a superb ball-playing defender with tremendous potential to become one of the top players of his generation.
He recently committed to representing Spain internationally and earned a call-up to the Spanish national team, despite also being eligible for the Netherlands. During the 2024/25 season, Huijsen has emerged as one of the standout performers in a Bournemouth side that has exceeded expectations.
Huijsen has made 30 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth this season, keeping seven clean sheets and conceding only 28 goals while on the pitch for the Cherries.
Although Real Madrid currently lead the race to sign the young Spaniard, Chelsea and Liverpool remain in close pursuit. Any club that secures Huijsen will gain a player capable of delivering at least a decade of world-class performances at the highest level of football.
