Fabrizio Romano Updates the Huijsen Case and Reveals Why He Is Distancing Himself from Real Madrid

The Real Madrid board hasn't made the decision to go for a center-back, and Premier League clubs are bidding strongly

Dean Huijsen is one of the standout names in the market. After shining in his first season in the Premier League with Bournemouth, the young center-back has attracted the interest of several European giants.

Under Andoni Iraola's orders, the Dutch defender has established himself as one of the great defensive revelations of the English championship. His performance has been so solid that his release clause, of 50 million pounds (58 million euros), could be activated this summer.

Growing Interest

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal have already initiated contacts with his camp. The player is highly regarded for his physical strength, ball-playing ability, and future potential.

Bayern Munich has also been alert since last January, although his incorporation depends on possible sales in the defense.

Despite all these options, there is a key fact: Dean Huijsen dreams of wearing Real Madrid's jersey. His camp has made it clear that, if it were up to him, he would move to the white club without thinking twice.

However, no real moves have been made from Valdebebas yet. The Madrid club has not made a definitive decision on strengthening the defense, waiting to see what happens with Militao, Alaba, Rüdiger, and Nacho.

This passivity could cost Madrid dearly. Meanwhile, the Premier League clubs are pushing hard, and Huijsen's camp is beginning to assume that his immediate future could remain tied to English soccer.

A Decisive Summer

Huijsen arrived at Bournemouth last summer from Juventus. A year later, he is on the radar of the European elite.

At just 19 years old, he has shown maturity, personality, and a lot of talent. Real Madrid has the option to bet on him, but time is running out.

If they don't move soon, the Dutch center-back could end up signing with one of the Premier League giants.

The white train is on the move... but Huijsen can't wait for it forever.
