Real Madrid is preparing an ambitious blow to secure the future of its defense. While Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are approaching the end of their contract, the Spanish club is looking for a young and versatile profile. A 19 -year -old, evolving in the Premier League and recently internationalized with Spain, is in the viewfinder. Chelsea, also interested, could complicate negotiations.

Dean Huijsen, central defender trained in Juventus and loaned to Bournemouth, is the priority target. Real Madrid plans an offer of 55 million euros, below the release clause set at 65 million. To convince the Cherries, the Merengues could include a loan with purchase option for Endrick or Arda Güler, the latter being privileged. Huijsen, author of a remarkable season (27 matches, 3 goals), embodies the modern defender: technique, physical and already mature despite his age.

Huijsen, future defender of Real Madrid?

If Real Madrid seems in pole, Chelsea does not let go. The blues, in search of defensive stability, could compete financially. PSG, which has followed Huijsen since 2022, also remains on alert. Luis Campos, Parisian sports director, appreciates his profile, but the player, seduced by the idea of ​​joining La Liga, has not yet decided.

Currently focused on the end of the season with Bournemouth, Huijsen avoids shattering statements. “I want to end the season properly, then we'll see”he told El Chiringuito. Les Cherries, in the race for a historic European qualification and in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup against Manchester City, are counting on him. His entourage assures that he will make his decision “In due time”, Without a rush.

At just 19 years old, Dean Huijsen must choose between becoming the pillar of a giant like Real Madrid or opt for a more progressive project. The Merengues bet on its potential to embody the future of their defense, alongside Eder Militão. But with Chelsea and PSG in the race, the suspense remains whole. One certainty: his next transfer will mark a decisive turning point in his young career.
