Real Madrid have reportedly activated Dean Huijsen’s £50 million release clause to secure the Bournemouth defender’s services. The 20-year-old has impressed in his debut Premier League season, making 30 appearances and forming a formidable partnership with Illya Zabarnyi.
His performances have helped Bournemouth maintain one of the best defensive records in the league, with only Liverpool and Arsenal conceding fewer goals. Initially signed from Juventus for just £12.6 million last summer, Huijsen has become a key player under Andoni Iraola, even contributing three goals. His form attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Liverpool, but Real Madrid appear to have beaten them to the punch.
According to The Athletic, Los Blancos are now finalizing personal terms with Huijsen’s representatives, who are currently in Madrid. His move marks a significant profit for Bournemouth and strengthens Real Madrid’s backline, with previous targets including Aymeric Laporte and William Saliba.
