Defense is an essential pillar in any top-level team. Last season, Real Madrid suffered several defensive problems that affected its performance.
Aware of this situation, the club has decided to strengthen that area. It has brought in Dean Huijsen, a young talent with great potential who represents the future at the heart of the white defense.
Dean Huijsen, the young white prospect
Dean Huijsen has arrived as a new signing at Real Madrid this season as one of the most promising additions in the market. At just 19 years old, this Dutch center-back stands out for his physique, technique, and maturity for his age. Huijsen is not only a player with potential, but also a symbol of the renewal process that the white defense needs.
The reality is that, with veterans in decline and some players with physical problems, Madrid needs to bet on young players like Huijsen to keep defensive stability in the long term. His adaptation is being closely monitored, and everything suggests that he will be a key piece in the back line.
Rúben Dias, the renewal that reassures City
Meanwhile, Manchester City is working to consolidate its present. Rúben Dias, one of the most solid defenders on the planet, has renewed his contract with the English club until June 2027. The news is a blow for those who saw him as a possible reinforcement for other giants, including Real Madrid.
Dias has proved to be a leader in the sky blue defense, with the ability to organize the team and provide security at key moments. The renewal is a vote of trust for Guardiola and a guarantee for City's defensive stability in the coming years.
The white defense in transition
Real Madrid is going through a delicate moment in its defensive line. Antonio Rüdiger, despite his quality, is already at an advanced age to keep up with the most demanding pace of the elite.
Éder Militão has suffered long injuries that have slowed his progress and raise doubts about his continuity without physical problems. Tchouaméni is a midfielder, so he can't cover this position.
In this context, Dean Huijsen stands as the great young hope, almost "alone" in that mission to renew the white back line. His development and consolidation will be key to Madrid's defensive success in the near future.
