Real Madrid have submitted a formal contract proposal to Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, intensifying their pursuit of the highly-rated 20-year-old Spanish international. The La Liga giants are eager to secure Huijsen’s signature ahead of the summer transfer window, viewing him as a key figure in their defensive overhaul under incoming manager Xabi Alonso.
Huijsen, who has a £50 million release clause in his Bournemouth contract, has attracted interest from several top European clubs. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to activate the clause should negotiations with Real Madrid falter.
The defender has expressed his admiration for Real Madrid, stating, “It’s an honor when you hear about Real Madrid interest, I’m proud to have such a big club interested in me. It’s special for sure” His idolization of former Madrid captain Sergio Ramos further fuels speculation about a potential move to the Bernabéu.
Despite the competition, Real Madrid remain optimistic about securing Huijsen’s services, especially given his openness to the move and the club’s proactive approach in negotiations. However, with Premier League heavyweights ready to intervene, the race for Huijsen’s signature promises to be a transfer sagas of the summer
