Real Madrid Transfers: Goodbye to Huijsen, Premier League Blockbuster Deal

Dean Huijsen seems to have already decided on his next destination, and it won't be Santiago Bernabéu. The young Spanish defender, one of the standouts at Bournemouth this season, is on Chelsea's radar. The London club is determined to pay the €60 million buyout clause for the center-back swiftly, aiming to have him even for the Club World Cup next summer.

The 20-year-old defender has had a remarkable performance in his debut season in the Premier League under Andoni Iraola. With 27 appearances and two goals in the league, his progress has been meteoric, earning him a debut with the Spanish national team and standing out in the UEFA Nations League against the Netherlands, the country of his birth.

Real Madrid Is Paying Close Attention, But Chelsea Is Going All-In

Real Madrid's interest in Huijsen dates back. The White Club was close to signing him during his formative years, but Juventus got ahead. Despite being liked in Valdebebas, the high cost and the emergence of youngsters like Asensio make the Madrid club reluctant to invest a large sum in a developing defender.

As reported by the newspaper AS, Chelsea, on the other hand, has not hesitated. Huijsen fits their sporting project, and the player himself sees staying in England positively. Although other Premier League giants are closely monitoring him, the 'blues' have taken the lead. Barring any setbacks, Stamford Bridge will be his next home.
