Dean Huijsen has gone from being unknown in our country to becoming one of the most sought-after players in international football. The Spanish footballer makes no secret of his desire to sign for Real Madrid next season, but while the Whites are making up their minds, other Premier League clubs are doing everything they can to convince him to sign.
Dean Huijsen wants to go to Real Madrid
Since the footballer made his debut a few weeks ago with the Spanish national team and it became known that Real Madrid was interested in him, the international player has not hesitated to express his desire to sign for the white team. The latest to comment on the matter was journalist Fabrizio Romano, who posted on social media that the footballer is still waiting for Real Madrid to make a move to sign him. But with no response, many Premier League teams are trying to lure him away.
“Dean Huijsen would be very excited to sign for Real Madrid.”
“There is currently no response from Real Madrid. That is why Premier League clubs are pressing.”
Dean Huijsen and his options at Real Madrid
Dean Huijsen is one of the names being linked with Real Madrid for next season. The Whites see an urgent need to strengthen this area of the pitch. The injuries to Militao and Alaba (the latter recovered but not yet back to full fitness), the age of most of the center backs, and the problems this has caused in recent seasons, are forcing Florentino Pérez to make a move.
His debut with the national team showed some of his characteristics as a player: forceful, quick to close down, good in the air, great passing accuracy and quality when running with the ball, something unusual for a young center back who is 1.97 cm tall.
However, Real Madrid had already set their sights on the player years earlier when he left Malaga, but he went to Serie A, to Juventus, and from there to Bournemouth in England, where he has exploded as a top-level player.
Doubts at Real Madrid
Real Madrid is aware of Dean Huijsen’s potential and has him on their radar, but they are also considering other options such as Jonathan Tah. The difference is that the young Spanish international has a very high price tag, around €60 million, and Real Madrid are not willing to pay that amount for the player. On the contrary, Jonathan Tah, one of the best center backs in the Bundesliga, would come for free, as his contract with Bayer Leverkusen expires this season.
In this regard, Xabi Alonso would have a lot to say. If Carlo Ancelotti finally leaves Real Madrid and the Basque coach, currently coaching the player, comes in, it would be very likely that he would bring the player to join the Real Madrid squad. Jonathan Tah is also a highly sought-after player, and the possibility of signing him for free is attractive to the big European clubs, especially those in the Premier League. There was also talk of him joining Barcelona, but the club’s financial situation would be an obstacle to his signing.
Dean Huijsen remains a real option to strengthen the team next season. The player wants to wear white, Real Madrid likes him, but his price tag is an obstacle to his signing, especially since other Premier League teams are willing to pay the $60 million asking price for the player.
We will see what the future holds for this Spanish soccer star, whether we will see him wearing white or if he ends up signing with another club that is willing to pay what is being asked for him.
