Dean Huijsen will play for Real Madrid. Everything is progressing as planned and the international player for Spain will fulfill his dream of playing at Santiago Bernabéu. However, despite many media outlets assuming everything was finalized, Edu Aguirre has contradicted them. In the latest episode of El Chiringuito, the journalist, well-connected to Huijsen's circle, was adamant, stating that, at this moment, nothing is absolutely finalized.
Dean Huijsen is not at risk: he will play for Real Madrid
In this regard, Edu Aguirre was clear: "The situation they tell me is that Dean Huijsen's signing is not finalized, he is not yet a player for Real Madrid. There is no 100% agreement. They tell me that in the next 24-48 hours the agreement could be finalized: Thursday or Friday is the idea."
He continued explaining on El Chiringuito: "The clause that Bournemouth set is €58 million and Real Madrid will pay it in full. They will pay it in 2 or 3 installments, they can't tell me exactly: from now until 2026 or 2027, something quite feasible."
Finally, Edu Aguirre concluded: "One of the problems that has arisen is that there are big clubs putting a lot of pressure on the kid, on Bournemouth... but Dean is very calm, he is doing his part and wants to play for Real Madrid."
Dean Huijsen, the great sensation of Europe
Dean Huijsen has become one of the great revelations of European soccer this season. At 20 years old, the Spanish-Dutch center-back has truly emerged at Bournemouth, where he has earned a starting position in the demanding Premier League. In 34 matches played, he has scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist, more than remarkable numbers for a center-back, showcasing his offensive capability on set pieces and his personality.
His growth has not gone unnoticed and the reward has come: Huijsen has already debuted with Spain's senior national team, proving he is ready to take on top-level challenges. His profile fits the modern center-back that all the big clubs are looking for: good ball distribution, tactical intelligence, strength in duels, and the ability to join the attack with danger.
Although there were doubts at times, Real Madrid has decided to take a step forward. As Edu Aguirre explained, his signing will be finalized at €58 million paid in several installments. His stance has been key, having received more lucrative offers from other Premier League teams. But Dean Huijsen has always been clear: he bets everything on white.
