Real Madrid are making headlines again—this time not just for their on-field dominance, but for flexing their financial muscle in the transfer market.

The Spanish giants are closing in on a major signing: Bournemouth’s rising star Dean Huijsen.

Medical Kicks Off in London

With Bournemouth set to face Manchester City in the Premier League on Tuesday, Huijsen was given the green light to head to London on Friday.

The reason? He’s begun his medical for what’s expected to be a £50 million switch to the Santiago Bernabéu.

It’s not just a sudden move—behind the scenes, the wheels have been turning quickly.

Huijsen’s agents were already in Madrid a day earlier, hammering out the finer details of what will reportedly be a five-year deal.

Real Madrid Win the Race for Huijsen’s Signature

Madrid were always Huijsen’s top pick, even with Premier League powerhouses like Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle all circling.

The 20-year-old defender has had a breakout season and naturally attracted attention across Europe.

But ultimately, his heart was set on the Spanish capital.

Madrid acted fast.

Talks with Bournemouth about the structure of the release clause happened midweek, with both sides agreeing the hefty fee would be paid in three instalments.

Huijsen’s former clubs, Juventus and Malaga, won’t be left out either—they’ll each get a percentage cut of the transfer.

Eye on the Club World Cup

One reason for Madrid’s urgency? They want Huijsen signed and sealed before they fly to the U.S. for the inaugural Club World Cup next month.

It’s a clear sign that they’re planning to integrate the youngster into their senior squad right away.

A Bargain Turned Gold for Bournemouth

Let’s not forget—Bournemouth only brought Huijsen in from Juventus last summer for just £12.6 million.

Now, less than a year later, they’re selling him for almost four times that. Talk about return on investment.

With Huijsen out the door, Bournemouth are already scouring the market for a replacement.

One name in the mix is 19-year-old Nathan Zeze from French side Nantes.

Madrid Still Eyeing Trent Alexander-Arnold

But Real Madrid aren’t stopping there.

They’ve reportedly touched base with Liverpool about speeding up a potential move for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

While nothing official has been offered yet, the interest is very real.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are making moves of their own—closing in on Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen.

The Reds are expected to trigger his £29.5 million release clause soon, setting the stage for a possible reshuffle in their backline.

What’s Next?

It’s clear Real Madrid aren’t messing around this transfer window.

From signing Huijsen to eyeing top-tier talent like Trent, they’re building for both the present and future.

The question now is—who’s next through the door at the Bernabéu?

And for Bournemouth fans, the real focus shifts to who will fill Huijsen’s boots and how they’ll reinvest that windfall.
