Real Madrid is poised to secure the signing of Bournemouth's promising center-back, Dean Huijsen, ahead of Chelsea. The 20-year-old Spanish international has a £50 million release clause, payable in three installments, making him an attractive prospect for top European clubs.
While Chelsea has shown significant interest, Huijsen reportedly favors a move to the Spanish capital, valuing the club's prestige and long-term stability over higher wages offered elsewhere.
According to reports from The Guardian, Real Madrid has been monitoring Huijsen since his youth days at Málaga and admires his playing style, reminiscent of club legend Sergio Ramos. The club's urgency to bolster its defense comes after a disappointing season and an impending managerial change, with Xabi Alonso expected to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Chelsea, meanwhile, is exploring other defensive options, including Jorrel Hato, Marc Guéhi, and Jarrad Branthwaite, amid ongoing fitness issues within their squad.
