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.
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.
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.
XAVI SIMONS WILL BE INTERESTED IN MOVE
Chelsea are reportedly considering a renewed move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Xavi Simons when the summer transfer window opens, according to reports.
The Dutch international has been linked with several Premier League clubs over the past year, but the latest speculation suggests CHELSEA could revive their pursuit as they continue reshaping their midfield options.
Simons, currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur, has attracted attention for his creativity, dribbling ability and attacking versatility. The 22-year-old is capable of playing as an advanced midfielder or out wide, making him a flexible option for clubs seeking additional attacking threat from midfield.
According to the report, Chelsea have been monitoring Simons’ performances closely and could consider making a formal approach once the transfer window opens. The West London club has been active in the market under their current recruitment strategy, focusing heavily on young, high-ceiling players who can develop into long-term starters.
Chelsea’s midfield has undergone significant changes over the past two seasons, but there remains an ongoing search for creativity and consistent attacking output from deeper areas. Simons’ technical quality and ability to carry the ball through midfield could make him an attractive addition if the club decides to strengthen further.
Tottenham, however, may be reluctant to entertain offers for a player seen as part of their long-term project. Spurs have invested heavily in building a competitive squad capable of challenging for major honours, and losing an emerging attacking talent to a direct domestic rival would likely be viewed as far from ideal.
The potential transfer would also represent another chapter in the long-standing rivalry between the two London clubs, who rarely conduct major business with one another.
Would Simons be interested in a move?
From the player’s perspective, the decision may not be straightforward. Moving from Tottenham Hotspur to CHELSEA would offer a different environment, but not necessarily a guaranteed step forward.
Chelsea’s financial power and ambition could still prove tempting. The club’s long-term rebuilding strategy and potential involvement in European competitions might appeal to a player eager to compete at the highest level
DISASI OPEN TO PERMANENT MOVE
Defender Axel Disasi has “opened the door” to a permanent switch to West Ham United this summer, with multiple reports suggesting the centre-back has informed Chelsea he would be willing to leave if the two clubs can reach an agreement.
West Ham are preparing for a defensive rebuild under their new sporting structure. The club is expected to target at least two centre-backs following an inconsistent season at the back and the impending departure of several squad players. Disasi has now emerged as a leading candidate, with his physical profile, Premier League experience, and versatility making him an attractive option.
Reports indicate that initial conversations have taken place between intermediaries, with Disasi expressing that he would welcome the opportunity to become a key figure in West Ham’s new project.
CHELSEA are not believed to be actively pushing him out, but they are open to selling if they can recoup a significant portion of the fee paid to Monaco last year.
Any deal is still at an early stage, and West Ham would need to meet Chelsea’s valuation, expected to be substantial given the defender’s contract length and age. However, with Disasi open to the move and West Ham actively searching for reinforcements, the groundwork appears set for one of the summer’s more intriguing transfer sagas.
Talks are expected to develop further in the coming weeks as both clubs shape their summer strategies.
Right decision on Disasi?
Chelsea still hold the strongest hand. With Disasi under contract and no urgent need to sell, they can dictate the terms. If West Ham fail to meet the asking price, the move simply won’t happen. That’s the reality of the market.
Where Disasi can make a difference is in subtle pressure. If he clearly communicates a desire for a bigger role elsewhere, or indicates he sees his future away from Stamford Bridge, CHELSEA may become more open to compromise—especially if they are looking to streamline the squad.
That said, this doesn’t look like a situation heading toward conflict. Disasi is unlikely to force the issue publicly or refuse to play, which limits his leverage.
Ultimately, he can help the move along—but he can’t make it happen alone. The deal will depend far more on whether West Ham are willing, and able, to meet Chelsea’s demands
