Real Madrid's defense has suffered heavy blows this season. Éder Militão's relapse, combined with Dani Carvajal's injury, has further weakened Ancelotti's Real Madrid defensive line.
Since then, the lack of personnel in the backline has been a constant problem for Real Madrid. Patches and changes in the line-up have been inevitable, raising doubts about their solidity in key moments. However, amid this complicated scenario, great news has emerged at Santiago Bernabéu.
Raúl Asencio, the Surprise at Real Madrid
Raúl Asencio has seized the opportunity and has become a pillar in Real Madrid's defense. His performance has been outstanding, forming a reliable partnership with Antonio Rüdiger in the center of the backline. But this duo could be short-lived due to the latest moves by the club's management.
The latest reports reveal that Real Madrid has already initiated contacts with a young European talent. Real Madrid itself has invited his father to visit Valdebebas to get a firsthand look at the club's facilities. This gesture indicates that the operation is well advanced and that the signing could be finalized in the coming months.
Dean Huijsen, the Chosen One to Strengthen Real Madrid's Defense
The footballer in Real Madrid's orbit is Dean Huijsen, one of the biggest promises in European soccer. The center-back, owned by Juventus, is shining this season and has attracted the interest of major clubs. His imposing physique, ball-playing ability, and leadership make him an ideal option for Real Madrid's future.
Huijsen stands out for his versatility and tactical maturity, despite his youth, making him perfect for the club's project. Real Madrid is looking for reliable center-backs who can join Rüdiger and offer defensive alternatives. If the signing is completed, the Dutchman could directly compete with Raúl Asencio for a spot in the starting eleven.
Real Madrid, Closer to Finalizing the Deal
Negotiations are progressing, and everything points to Huijsen wearing white very soon. With his father's visit to Valdebebas, Madrid has taken a key step to finalize his arrival. Now only the final details need to be defined for the young center-back to become a new reinforcement for Real Madrid.
