Last summer, Barça had practically closed the signing of Arda Güler. The young Turkish prospect had shown interest in playing at Camp Nou. However, at the last moment, Real Madrid came in with a better offer and ended up taking the talented attacking midfielder.
That move did not sit well with Deco, who had been working for months on the player's acquisition. Deco had to watch as one of his targets ended up at Bernabéu. Now, he has a perfect opportunity to return the favor to Florentino Pérez.
Deco Wants Revenge in the Market
Real Madrid is very clear about which position they want to strengthen for the next season. The sports management considers it a priority to sign a defender with great potential. The option that is most favored at Bernabéu is already defined, and contacts have begun.
However, Deco is also very alert to this operation. In recent days, Barça has decided to enter the bidding and will not do so as a mere formality. They want to snatch from Florentino Pérez one of the gems they consider key for the future.
Dean Huijsen, Between Barça and Real Madrid
Dean Huijsen's emergence in the Spanish National Team has been spectacular. In his debut against the Netherlands, he left a great impression and showed that he has the level to compete at the highest level. His quality and maturity have sparked the interest of Europe's top clubs.
Real Madrid considers him the ideal candidate to strengthen their defense. He not only fits the profile of a young center-back with a future, but he has also made it clear who his role models are. His idol is Sergio Ramos, and he celebrates goals like Cristiano Ronaldo.
50 Million Euros for Dean Huijsen
However, Dean Huijsen has also become one of Barça's great desires. Deco is clear that he must get ahead of Real Madrid if he wants to strengthen the defense. Deco's idea is for him to form the best defensive pair in the world alongside Pau Cubarsí.
The price for Dean Huijsen is set at 50M euros. It is a high amount, but Barça is determined to make an effort. Deco considers that his transfer would be a great investment for the future and a strategic maneuver.
A Summer That Promises Many Surprises
The battle for Dean Huijsen has begun, and both Barça and Real Madrid will do everything possible to get him. Deco wants to repeat the Arda Güler case in reverse and will do everything in his power to convince the center-back.
