José Félix Díaz Announces the Cheapest Center-back Real Madrid Can Sign

The most affordable operation for a center-back available to Real Madrid has been revealed by José Félix Díaz

The situation with Real Madrid's defense continues to be a hot topic. After Militao's injury and Asencio's emergence, Real Madrid has maintained its interest in signing a young center-back. With several prospects considered, José Félix Díaz has revealed the center-back whose value is more accessible for Real Madrid's aspirations.

Dean Huijsen is the center-back that José Félix Díaz has pointed out as the next center-back for Real Madrid. Standing out in just his first season in the Premier League, Huijsen is one of Real Madrid's major targets. Alongside the Spaniard, Real Madrid is also interested in signing Jorrel Hato, Castello Lukeba, or William Saliba.

Despite the quality shown by all these center-backs, their operations would be much more complicated than Huijsen's. Due to the value or the current contract, José Félix is clear that none of the options regarding center-backs is better than Huijsen.

The Next Center-Back for Real Madrid

Coming from Juventus, Dean Huijsen joined Bournemouth during the last summer transfer window. Despite being 19 years old and having no experience in the Premier League, the center-back has been one of the great revelations of this season. Although his contract until 2030 presents a problem, this hasn't stopped Real Madrid's interest.

Aware of the release clause that Huijsen has, José Félix Díaz considers his signing the most accessible for Real Madrid. With a particularly low clause compared to other center-backs, Huijsen could soon become a "merengue".

Given the values that center-backs like Hato and Saliba have, being close to 100M euros, José Félix's announcement is understandable. Although Real Madrid has great capital, it is not in their plans to spend a large amount on just one player.

The Player Chosen by José Félix

Making it clear how viable the operation for Huijsen is, it only remains to wait for the decision that Real Madrid ultimately makes. In a situation that clearly seeks to change, Real Madrid has time to sign the player who will strengthen their defense.
