Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to listen to offers for highly rated defender Dean Huijsen this summer, with a potential £65 million price tag already circulating amid growing interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
The big centre-back is widely considered one of the most promising young defenders in European football. However, reports in Spain suggest Madrid’s hierarchy could be willing to sanction a sale if a suitable offer arrives during the upcoming transfer window.
Huijsen, who has developed rapidly in recent seasons, is viewed internally at the Santiago Bernabéu as a valuable asset but not necessarily untouchable. Sources close to the club claim Madrid may consider cashing in if the fee approaches £65 million, a figure that would represent a significant profit on a player still establishing himself at senior level.
Interest from the Premier League is believed to be strong. Both CHELSEA and Manchester United have been linked with the young defender as they look to strengthen their back lines ahead of the 2026–27 season.
CHELSEA are thought to be closely monitoring Huijsen’s situation as they continue their strategy of investing heavily in emerging talent. The London club has prioritised signing young players with high ceilings in recent transfer windows, and Huijsen fits that recruitment profile perfectly.
Manchester United, meanwhile, are also believed to be assessing defensive reinforcements. With uncertainty surrounding several centre-backs in their squad and a long-term rebuild ongoing, United scouts have reportedly been tracking Huijsen’s progress for months.
Huijsen’s combination of size, composure on the ball and tactical awareness has attracted admirers across Europe. Standing well over six feet tall, the defender is known for his aerial ability as well as his comfort playing out from the back — qualities highly valued in modern defenders.
Despite the rumours, Real Madrid are not actively pushing the player out. Club sources suggest they remain happy to keep Huijsen as part of their long-term defensive rotation, particularly given the demanding schedule across domestic and European competitions.
However, the prospect of a sizeable transfer fee and strong interest from the Premier League could tempt the Spanish giants to negotiate. And the emerging £65 million valuation has already set the stage for what could become one of the most intriguing defensive transfer sagas of the upcoming window.
