Real Madrid hasn't wanted to waste time and has closed its second signing for the next season. As Fabrizio Romano has announced, the signing of the Spanish center-back Dean Huijsen, from Bournemouth, has been sealed. It will cost 58 million euros, his release clause, divided into three different installments. All the details are agreed with the English team, with no issues for his arrival at the Club World Cup.
Dean Huijsen, strategic signing
The trust in Dean Huijsen from Real Madrid is total. After dazzling in the Premier League and debuting as an international for Spain, the agreement has been reached. Everything is closed and he will sign for the next five seasons, sealing his contract until June 30, 2030. He arrives at Santiago Bernabéu at almost 20 years old with his whole future ahead to lead the Madrid defense.
The main supporter of this agreement is the new coach, Xabi Alonso, who was looking for a left-footed profile for the center of the defense. It was clear all along: the main and only target was Huijsen, who has always prioritized Real Madrid.
Dean Huijsen, Europe's great sensation
Dean Huijsen has become one of the great revelations of European soccer this season. At 20 years old, the Spanish-Dutch center-back has definitively broken through at Bournemouth, where he has earned a starting spot 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, highlighting his offensive capability on set pieces and his personality.
His growth hasn't gone unnoticed and the reward has come: Huijsen has already debuted with Spain's senior national team, proving 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 dangerously.
Finally, Dean Huijsen will head to Real Madrid. The only thing left is for him to pass the medical examination and for the official announcement to be made. After Arnold, Huijsen. And after the Spaniard, Álvaro Carreras will arrive: there is no doubt.
