Better than Cubarsí, new top partner for Raúl Asencio: Real Madrid pays €19M

Florentino Pérez makes the decision and gives the green light to a signing that will mean a turning point for Real Madrid

Real Madrid has decided not to waste time and set in motion the signing they most desired. A center-back is needed and, according to Madrid-Barcelona, the chosen one is none other than Dean Huijsen. Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, the 20-year-old star is liked and trusted, and his release clause will be paid next summer, valued at 58 million euros.

Dean Huijsen, clause in installments

A key aspect that has finally convinced Florentino Pérez to pay his clause is the ease of payment. Despite being set at 58 million, Bournemouth will allow it to be paid in three different installments, offering ease in the operation

In this regard, these 58 "kilos" that set Dean Huijsen's release price are divided into three installments of 19 million euros... making Real Madrid give their final approval. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that contacts are intensifying in recent days, trying to advance the operation. Huijsen is eager to play at Bernabéu, and he is convinced by the idea of forming a partnership with Raúl Asencio.

In recent months, Dean Huijsen has completed his full "nationalization" with Spain, already being an international with the national team. Florentino intends to bring more Spaniards to the locker room during the upcoming markets, trying to regain some connection with the fans. The signing of the Bournemouth defender will be the first step toward this, with other targets in the market, such as Zubimendi.

Dean Huijsen will head to Real Madrid

Dean Huijsen has become one of the great revelations of European soccer this season. At 20 years old, the center-back has truly emerged after his arrival at Bournemouth, where he has earned a spot as an undisputed starter in the demanding Premier League. In 33 matches played, he has scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist, more than remarkable numbers for a central defender, highlighting his offensive capability on set pieces and his personality on the field.

His growth hasn't gone unnoticed and the reward has come: Huijsen has already debuted with Spain's senior national team, showing that he is ready to take on top-level challenges. His profile fits the modern center-back that all the big clubs seek: good ball distribution, tactical intelligence, strength in duels, and the ability to join the attack with danger. 

Real Madrid has decided to pay his clause, aware of his enormous present and potential future. With character, quality, and a huge room for improvement, his name is already making waves in the elite of world soccer.
