Real Madrid does not intend to leave the PSG the monopoly of defensive nuggets. While the Paris club had set its sights on Dean Huijsen at the end of 2024, the Spanish giant is now accelerating to seduce the young defender of Bournemouth, according to the revelations of El Chiringuito. A cross -border duel is looming for this Hispanic Dutchman, already compared to a “major promise” of Iberian football.
A rare profile that makes Real salivate
At just 19 years old, Dean Huijsen (1.97m) combines the assets: Speed, Balle Balle at the foot, and a rare maturity for his age. Born in the Netherlands but raised in Marbella, he already wears the jersey of Spain Hopes and could integrate selection A for the 2026 World Cup. “Real loves it. They were looking for a fast and young central after failure on Laporte, ”explains Eduardo Inda, a source close to the Merengue club. Indeed, Aymeric Laporte was in the viewfinder, but his pharaonic salary in Saudi Arabia (20M € net) made Madrid back down. Huijsen, it would cost much cheaper … but its rating explodes.
PSG vs real: revenge of transfers
The interest of Real awakens an old file at PSG. A few weeks ago, the defender was among the targets of Parisian recruiters, according to Foot Mercato. But since his arrival in Bournemouth (loaned by Juventus), his performance in the Premier League (88% of successful passes, 63 duels won) have fueled the lusts. “This is the kind of profile that Luis Campos loves: young, versatile, and already experienced at the high level”, confides a source close to PSG. The fact remains that Real, with its mass argument – “play at home” for Spanish – could take the advantage.
A strategic investment
With the anticipated departures of Nacho (34 years old) and the recurring injuries of Alaba and Dani Carvjal, Real wants to anticipate. Huijsen embodies the ideal: an axial defender capable of covering the right back, perfect for completing Militão and Rüdiger. “His physique and his reading of the game recall a young Sergio Ramos”slides a scout.
While PSG is working on other files (knight, Araujo), Real advances its pawns. But with Juventus which still has 40% of the player, the battle promises to be complex … and costly. A poker blow at 50M €? Madrid seems ready to try it.
