According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid have agreed to sign Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth for a £50 million fee, with the Spain international now cleared to travel for his medical examination. The centre-back spent his youth career at Malaga between 2015 and 2021 before moving to Juventus, where he didn’t make a professional appearance. Now, he’s set to make his La Liga debut with Los Blancos and could feature in the Club World Cup this summer.
Huijsen joined Bournemouth from Juventus just last summer for an initial £12.8 million (\$17 million), meaning the Cherries stand to make a huge profit on the 20-year-old defender. This season, he has featured in 30 Premier League matches, helping Bournemouth secure 10th place in the table.
Romano also notes that Huijsen was a key target for Real Madrid’s new manager, Xabi Alonso, as the club looks to revamp their defense. Additionally, Madrid are preparing to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer after the right-back announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of his contract this summer.
Bournemouth still have matches against Manchester City and Leicester before the Premier League season ends. Unless negotiations collapse at the last minute, Huijsen is expected to say farewell to the Cherries in the upcoming game against Leicester.
