The Merengues have just announced the signature of Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth where he was still under contract until 2030 after having landed there only last year.

Les Cherries made a good business since they recruited him 15 M € to Juventus last summer to resell it almost at the quadruple in Real Madrid. The 2024 European champion paid € 58 million (payable in three deadlines, a small part of the money will be redirected to Malaga and Juventus), the amount of the release clause to offer it. “”Bournemouth can confirm that defender Dean Huijsen will join Real Madrid after the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, the Spanish team having activated a liberating clause of 50 million pounds sterling», Writes the English club on its site this Saturday.

Flight to Real Madrid at 20 years old

The Spanish neo-international (2 selections) takes on a new dimension. Already revealed during his visit to Roma loan between January and June 2024, he continued his expected development during his season in the Premier League where Bournemouth ended in the soft belly. After three months of competition of a gentle integration, the 20 -year -old joined Andoni Iraola's starting eleven to never get out of it (34 games in all competitions, 3 goals and 1 decisive pass).

His performances first allowed him to join Roja at the expense of the Netherlands where he evolved until U19 then now Real Madrid. Huijsen will be expected at the turn in a team where looks and judgments are constant, especially since Casa Blanca will be keen to turn the page of a difficult last season. In addition to this, he has a real card to play between the injuries of Militao and Alaba, the drop in level of Rüdiger and the extrasportive setbacks of Asencio.
