Dean Huijsen is the trending name in European soccer. At just 19 years old, this center-back from Málaga with Dutch origins has caught the attention of the continent's top clubs, including Real Madrid.
His impressive debut with the Spanish national team in the Nations League has been just the beginning of what seems to be a brilliant career. Huijsen spoke about his possible signing with the Whites, while receiving an offer from another European giant.
Real Madrid's Interest
Real Madrid has been following Dean Huijsen for some time, with a view to strengthening their defense in the upcoming season. Although the summer transfer market hasn't started yet, reports about the Whites' interest in the young center-back have intensified in recent weeks. The Madrid sports management sees Huijsen as a footballer with great potential, capable of quickly adapting to the demanding Spanish league.

The player, however, remains calm amid the speculations. In a recent interview, Huijsen humorously commented on the rumors about his possible signing with Real Madrid.
"My friends send me things from time to time, but I just laugh and that's it, I don't know what to tell them, I don't know anything and I can't say anything," he commented. Despite the media pressure, the center-back remains focused on his present.
The Competition for His Signing
Despite Real Madrid's interest, Huijsen is not the only team pursuing him. Bayern Munich has taken the lead in the race to sign the young center-back.
According to various sources, the German club is finalizing the details of a five-year contract with the player, which puts Real Madrid in a somewhat uncomfortable position. Bayern's quick action could secure Huijsen's signing before the Whites have a chance to launch their offensive.
The center-back, who is currently at Bournemouth, has shown outstanding performance both in the Premier League and with the Spanish national team. His ability to anticipate plays, his decisiveness, and his quality in bringing the ball out make him a highly sought-after defender.
With a price close to 60 million euros, Huijsen has several options when choosing his next destination.
Huijsen's Future: Real Madrid or Bayern?
Dean Huijsen's future is uncertain, but what is clear is that his future is in the big leagues. With Bournemouth recognizing the growing projection of their young star, the English club knows that the sale of the defender will be a multi-million dollar operation.
Real Madrid continues to closely monitor his development, but Bayern Munich's offensive has put the Whites on alert. In any case, Huijsen's name will remain in the spotlight in the coming months.
