Real Madrid Confidencial They Announce Huijsen's Response to Real Madrid, Florentino Cancels the Deal
The center-back distances himself from the white team, the signing has cooled down and he has replied
Real Madrid is looking for center-backs with the intention of strengthening that position this coming summer. One of the most liked is Dean Huijsen, who has performed excellently in the Premier League. However, it seems that the operation has gradually cooled down.
Despite the interest of Los Merengues in Huijsen, and having had contact with his entourage, they haven't made a move. At least that's what journalist David Ornstein has indicated on the matter. Florentino would have canceled the operation, at least for this coming summer.
The center-back does seem willing to sign for the white team, considering it one of his top options. "Real Madrid has always had a great appeal for Dean Huijsen," Ornstein confessed. Although he also added that "so far, he hasn't made a move."
Despite this, he doesn't believe that the Spanish center-back is upset and closing the doors to Real Madrid. The journalist concluded by saying that "I'm sure he's taking it philosophically." He said this in reference to the fact that Los Blancos haven't taken the step to secure his signing.
Real Madrid's Plans with Huijsen Point to a Long-Term Signing
It is true that Real Madrid has considered signing Huijsen after seeing his season in the Premier League. Additionally, they were very impressed by the confidence he showed in his debut with the national team. But they consider that he is young and will be a more long-term addition.
Among other things, because if Alaba doesn't leave this summer, they don't have a spot on the roster. With Militao and Asencio having secured positions, and Rüdiger also close to renewing his contract. It is the Austrian who would be more likely to leave if a possible offer from Saudi Arabia arises.
However, if he doesn't leave, there is no spot, and they will cancel the potential signing of Huijsen. They prefer that he continues getting minutes with another team and consider his arrival in the long term. Trusting that he won't sign a long-term contract that ties him to a team for a long time.
