Fabrizio Romano Updates Huijsen Case, Reveals Real Madrid's Stance

One of the names that continues to circulate constantly in Real Madrid's orbit is Dean Huijsen. The footballer from AFC Bournemouth has become one of the main targets of the white club's sports management given the urgent need to add reinforcements to the defense. However, the information from the last few hours would have distanced Dean Huijsen from his possible signing by the merengue entity.

The different versions about the 'Huijsen case' are accumulating rapidly. According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid has a "genuine" interest in AFC Bournemouth's '2', so the white leaders would view his incorporation favorably. The player could also feel "attracted" to the idea of changing the Vitality Stadium for Santiago Bernabéu, especially thanks to the 'hints' he has given in multiple interviews.

Despite this good news, the Italian journalist warns that one of the main obstacles of this operation is within Real Madrid itself. Fabrizio Romano points out that the executives led by Florentino Pérez must decide regarding the signing of a center-back for this summer, an operation initially planned for the end of the 25/26 season.

Those Real Madrid doubts would be the firstobstacles that Dean Huijsen's signing would have to overcome before facing all the requirements to make the operation itself a reality. The most concerning demand of the Spanish center-back's transfer is the amount demanded by the cherry entity to let their most recent star go: about 50 million pounds.

Two Points of Reflection

Mario Cortegana warns that Real Madrid considers that amount very high for a profile like Dean Huijsen... despite the footballer fitting perfectly into the recruitment policy requirements: young, Spanish, left-footed, and with elite experience. The white leaders distance themselves from his signing for economic reasons and move closer to the Premier League candidacies.

The 'The Athletic' journalist points out that several English League teams would have taken a step forward with that 'withdrawal' of Real Madrid in the signing of Dean Huijsen. Fabrizio Romano, meanwhile, places the merengue entity again as a candidate to acquire the Spanish defender's card... without pointing to a possible arrival date in Santiago Bernabéu locker room.

Real Madrid urgently needs reinforcements in the defensive area. The claims of Carlo Ancelotti, who has repeatedly requested a center-back, have not been satisfied for months: the 'Yoro case' is a clear example of this complicated trend.

The signing of Dean Huijsen could end in the same way as the attempts to acquire the card of the young French center-back during the last summer market. In any case, the debate about this position will continue to accompany the white club in the coming months... and until the Madrid leaders decide to intervene in that area of the first team.
