Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen has been one of the breakout stars of the 2024\/25 Premier League campaign and has helped his side to compete at a high level in the division. He has attracted interest from many clubs, but seems to be inching close to a move to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano has reported<\/a> that the Spanish giants are now holding direct meetings with the representatives of the young centre-back to come to an agreement over the kind of contract that he’ll sign upon joining the club. It’s added that there is only a matter of a few details to be agreed between Real Madrid and Huijsen’s agents, after which the agreement will be complete.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0<\/strong>Real Madrid Secure Agreement For Blockbuster Premier League Defender Signing<\/a><\/p>\n The journalist also adds that the “agreement on \u00a350 million release clause with Bournemouth has been sealed” for Real Madrid as they are ready to splash the cash for the defender’s signing. Romano has also claimed<\/a> that the Cherries have agreed for the amount to be paid by the end of 2026 by the Spanish giants, with that agreement done between the two clubs. He\u00a0states<\/a> that Xabi Alonso, who is being widely reported to be in line to become Real Madrid’s new manager, urged the club to accelerate their pursuit of signing a new centre-back and that pushed them to start working on securing this deal.<\/p>\n It seems that the Spanish giants are about to come out on top of the race to sign the highly rated young centre-back. That is because Huijsen was also linked<\/a> with Premier League clubs like Chelsea, but they appear to be coming up short-handed on this pursuit. The 20-year-old defender, who joined Bournemouth in the 2024 summer transfer window<\/a>, has been a revelation for the Cherries.<\/p>\nReal Madrid Set to Win Big Transfer Race for Huijsen<\/h3>\n
