Real Madrid are showing interest in young defender who has been on the radar of Chelsea. They can soon make an official offer in summer when the player’s release clause gets activated.
The star in question here is Dean Huijsen who joined Bournemouth this summer. He is only 19 years old but is already creating wonders in Premier League. Huijsen is regular starter for Cherries and has played 25 games this season. He has also scored 2 goals to showcase his offensive qualities along with solid defence.
Bournemouth are very happy with Huijsen and are willing to keep him at the club. But, it will be very hard for them as top clubs are showing interest in the player. The 19 year old has £50 million release clause in his contract that will be activated this summer.
Chelsea have been linked with Huijsen since a long-time now. They are planning to bring in atleast 2 new defenders this summer. As of now, their top priority is Marc Guehi who can move away from Crystal Palace this summer.
Huijsen is also a top priority of the West London club. He fits perfectly in their hiring criteria of signing young players and preparing for future. But, they are facing heavy competition for the 19 year old with Spanish giants joining the race.
Real Madrid join the race to sign Dean Huijsen
According to talkSPORT, Madrid are willing to sign Dean Huijsen in the summer window. In addition, they also have sights in Jarrad Branthwaite who has been very good for Everton. The report suggests that Jude Bellingham can be given the task to convince Branthwaite while playing together for England national team.
