Arsenal wants to steal a 60 million signing from Real Madrid

Real Madrid managed to defeat Atlético de Madrid at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in an exciting penalty shootout, allowing them to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals. In the next round, the Whites will face Arsenal, a rival that could pose challenges not only on the field but also in the transfer market.

According to information published by Ekrem Konur, the London club has set its sights on Dean Huijsen, a young defender who is also on Real Madrid's radar. The Merengue club has been considering his acquisition as a more affordable option compared to other center-backs like Castello Lukeba or William Saliba, whose transfers would exceed 100 million euros. Bournemouth, the current team of the defender, would demand around 60 million to let him go in the summer, a sum that fits into Real Madrid's plans.

Real Madrid's Challenges: Arsenal is also on the lookout

However, Arsenal has entered the operation forcefully, closely monitoring the player and showing a clear interest in signing him. This has alerted Real Madrid's sports management, which already faced a similar situation last summer with Leny Yoro, when another English club, Manchester United, ended up inflating and complicating the arrival of the young French defender.

Although they are not keen on entering a bidding war at Valdebebas, Arsenal's involvement in the pursuit of Huijsen forces Madrid to define their strategy as soon as possible. If they truly want to secure the Dutch-born center-back, they will need to prepare a compelling offer to avoid another scenario like that of Yoro. The battle in the market has begun.
