End of the saga: Huijsen will sign with Real Madrid in a few hours, deal closed.

One of the signings that has undergone a radical change this season is the addition of a center-back for the next season. The depleted defensive line that Carlo Ancelotti has had to employ during the current soccer season, reaching unprecedented extremes in these last three matches, has surprised the leadership. That's why the Madrid bosses have decided to put an immediate end to it.

The goal of the executives led by Florentino Pérez is the addition of at least one player for each of the positions in that affected defensive line. The arrival of the right-back seems to have been under control for some time with Trent Alexander-Arnold, so the arrivals in the other two positions would be the priority. The signing of Dean Huijsen has shown this.

Real Madrid had shown certain doubts regarding the signing of the Spanish defender, especially considering his release clause. But the urgency to add at least one more center-back to the current first team in view of Xabi Alonso's arrival has prevailed. That's why Fabrizio Romano can release information like the one published on his social media.

The Italian reporter understands that "Dean Huijsen's entourage has landed in Madrid to finalize the agreement with Real". With this move by those closest to AFC Bournemouth's '2', the now cherry footballer would be one step closer to becoming a white player. Some important details still need to be discussed to close the deal.

About to finish

One of the most important is the "length of the contract". Fabrizio Romano recalls that this part of the saga is still under discussion "with a five-year agreement on the table." Real Madrid makes it clear that Dean Huijsen is one of their future bets for the white defense, especially now that Xabi Alonso promises to bring changes to the first team.

In any case, Fabrizio Romano points out that the agreement is made "for the £50 million clause to be paid in three installments, the player's contract is being arranged". With this information, Real Madrid is about to certify the second signing of the upcoming summer market... and who knows if the second also for the Club World Cup that kicks off on June 18 for the white club.

Xabi Alonso's suggestions would have had a particular effect in the Valdebebas offices. Real Madrid has reacted in time, even before the first advantage of the summer market opens, moving the necessary pieces to add reinforcements to the white defense. The next signing, some venture, would be intended for the left-back.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen, whose signing is about to become a reality according to Fabrizio Romano, would see Álvaro Carreras also join them in Santiago Bernabéu locker room. In this case from a Benfica that also requests the payment of the release clause from the teams interested in his signing.
