Real Madrid-Bournemouth Swap Confirmed: Dean Huijsen Already Knows it

The young center-back continues to attract interest across Europe, and Real Madrid has taken the first step to sign him

Dean Huijsen is one of the great promises of European soccer. His defensive talent has captivated fans of Bournemouth and the Spanish National Team, where he has already debuted. His maturity on the field suggests that he will make a mark in the coming years.

While the Spanish-Dutch player is already a future prospect, the big clubs are following him because they know he is ready to play now. He has already shown what he is capable of at just nineteen years old. Today, having him as the cornerstone of a defense could be key to the future.

Real Madrid closely follows Dean Huijsen

Real Madrid has been closely following his steps for months. His projection is impressive and would fit perfectly into the future project.

The interest from Real Madrid itself is so firm that his father has recently visited Valdebebas. This represents a significant step toward a possible transfer.

The major obstacle is his release clause

The operation will not be easy, as the defender's release price is set at 50 million euros. Florentino Pérez wants to avoid paying that amount, as he considers it a high price for a center-back who is not yet 20 years old.

Sources like Fabrizio Romano have confirmed that Real Madrid is looking for ways to lower the figure. The solution has been on the table for a few months now.

An exchange that could lower the transfer cost

To reduce the cost, Real Madrid would have decided to include a footballer in the negotiation. A strategic move that could convince Bournemouth.

The player in question is an old acquaintance of Andoni Iraola from his time as coach of Rayo Vallecano. His presence in the operation could make the transfer close on favorable terms.

Fran García: The key to the agreement

Real Madrid's left-back is the chosen one to be included in the exchange. His current valuation is 15 million, which would lower Huijsen's cost to 35 million. Additionally, Fran García has already worked with Iraola at Rayo Vallecano and would like to reunite with him in the Premier League.

A move that benefits all parties

Real Madrid would acquire a defender with a bright future without paying his full clause. Bournemouth, meanwhile, would strengthen their left flank with a reliable player.

Conversations are already underway, and everything points to the operation being finalized soon. It remains to be seen if it will ultimately be closed on the desired terms.
