Real Madrid Agrees to Sign Bournemouth Defender Dean Huijsen for Fifty Million Pounds After Impressive Season in England

After an impressive breakout season at Bournemouth, young defender Dean Huijsen is now capturing the attention of one of football’s biggest giants — Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old centre back, who joined Bournemouth last summer for just £12.6 million, is reportedly on the verge of sealing a blockbuster £50 million move to the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid Moves Fast to Secure Huijsen’s Signature

With Bournemouth’s next Premier League fixture coming up against Manchester City on Tuesday, the club allowed Huijsen to travel to London on Friday to begin his medical exams.

Meanwhile, his representatives were already in Madrid a day earlier, finalizing personal contract details that are expected to span five years.

Sources say Real Madrid has been Huijsen’s preferred destination for a while, and talks have intensified over the past week.

The transfer fee will reportedly be paid in three instalments, with Juventus and Malaga — two of Huijsen’s former clubs — set to receive 10% and 5% of the fee, respectively.

Other Top Clubs Also Interested in Huijsen

Huijsen’s strong performances have sparked interest far and wide, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle all reportedly offering for his signature.

But Real Madrid’s early advantage and clear intentions to complete the deal before the upcoming Club World Cup in the U.S. seem to have sealed the deal.

Bournemouth’s Next Steps and Transfer Plans

As Bournemouth prepares to lose a key player, they are already looking at replacements.

One potential target is 19-year-old Nathan Zeze from Nantes, signaling the club’s intent to keep strengthening their defense despite the big sale.

Real Madrid’s Wider Transfer Moves and Liverpool’s Response

In other transfer news, Real Madrid is also in talks with Liverpool about potentially accelerating the signing of Trent Alexander-Arnold, though no formal offer has been made yet.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is close to activating the £29.5 million release clause for Bayer Leverkusen’s right wing back Jeremie Frimpong, showing they are active in the market as well.
