Dean Huijsen gives green light for Real Madrid move

According to Cadena SER, Dean Huijsen has already given his approval to join Real Madrid this summer. Despite strong interest from a number of top Premier League clubs including Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, his priority has always been the Spanish giants.

Dean Huijsen’s transfer fee

A transfer fee of $66.3 million (£50 million) has been set for the Dutch-born defender who has Spanish nationality, although payment could be made in installments rather than one lump sum, due to a clause in his contract with Bournemouth.

While the deal is yet to be officially announced, there is reportedly an agreement between the player and the club. The financial details remain to be finalized.

Highly coveted 20-year-old defender impresses European clubs

The 20-year-old center-back has racked up three goals and an assist this season, on top of his defensive qualities. His standout performances in the Nations League, combined with his aggressive defensive style and versatility, have made him a highly sought-after proposition for several clubs looking to shore up their backline ahead of next season.

One of his most eye-catching attributes is his ability to balance his defensive duties with forays into attack.

Internationally he has made two appearances at senior level for Spain, making his debut in the Nations League quarter final against the Netherlands in March, replacing Pau Cubarsí as a first half sub. He started and completed the return leg at Mestalla.
