Real Madrid Target Bournemouth’s Rising Star Dean Huijsen
Bournemouth’s 19-year-old sensation Dean Huijsen has sparked transfer speculation after admitting he’s open to joining Real Madrid, with the young defender confirming a release clause in his current contract.
🗣️ “Every Player Wants to Play at the Highest Level”
In an interview with El Chiringuito TV, the Spanish international didn’t rule out a potential move to the Bernabéu:
“I don’t know, we’ll see. It’s a big team. Every player wants to play at the highest level possible.”
Madrid Scouts Impressed by Huijsen’s Breakout Season
Sources told ESPN that Real Madrid are closely monitoring the center-back, who has impressed with his poise, defensive leadership, and technical ability in his debut Premier League season.
Since joining Bournemouth from Juventus in a ÂŁ12.8 million deal last summer, Huijsen has:
-
Made 25 league appearances
-
Scored 2 goals
-
Become a key figure in the Cherries’ push for European football
Despite signing a long-term deal until 2030, the defender confirmed the existence of a release clause, rumored to be in the region of ÂŁ50 million.
🌟 Childhood Idol? Sergio Ramos. Dream Coach? Carlo Ancelotti
Born in Amsterdam and raised in Marbella, Huijsen also admitted he grew up idolizing Sergio Ramos, saying:
“Since I was young, [he was] my idol.”
He also praised Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, calling him “a very good coach” with well-earned merit.
⚽ Real Madrid’s Defensive Needs Could Accelerate a Move
With Éder Militão and David Alaba sidelined through injury, and academy graduate Raúl Asencio currently partnering Antonio Rüdiger, Madrid are actively seeking long-term reinforcements in defense.
Huijsen, now capped at senior level for Spain, may fit the profile perfectly — young, experienced in top-flight football, and emotionally connected to the club.
