The 'Problem' Florentino and Ancelotti Have Found with Dean Huijsen: 'No...'

Real Madrid Are Still Considering Signing Dean Huijsen to Strengthen the Defense

During the break, Real Madrid is beginning to shape the future of its squad with several meetings taking place in Valdebebas. One of the key names in this planning is Dean Huijsen, who is reportedly getting closer to joining the white club.

However, the operation will not be simple or economical. From Bournemouth, in the south of England, they demand a figure close to 50M euros.Dean Huijsen is a key piece for Andoni Iraola, and the British want to capitalize on his possible departure.

A Great Option for Real Madrid's Defense

The multiple injuries suffered in that area of the field since the second cycle of Carlo Ancelotti began have had a significant impact. In this context, the figure of Dean Huijsen emerges as one of the most solid options to strengthen a very ambitious project.

Additionally, key players like Éder Militão and David Alaba are still in the process of recovering from their respective cruciate ligament tears. At Real Madrid, they have certain doubts about the level of both, so the arrival of Dean Huijsen would solve several open fronts.

With his 6 ft. 6 in. (1.97 meters) height and 192 lbs. (87 kg) weight, this central defender has made a sensation in the Premier League. So far, Dean Huijsen has played 23 matches, participated in 85 duels, successfully completed 20 tackles, and scored 2 goals.

In statements to "Relevo", he assured that these achievements place him in an ideal position to wear the Real Madrid jersey. In fact, one of Dean Huijsen's dreams is to be able to play with the white kit at Santiago Bernabéu.

The Small Problem of Signing Dean Huijsen

The profile of Dean Huijsen is very appealing to Real Madrid. According to the newspaper Marca, the white club prefers his signing over Jorrel Hato, the current Ajax player. However, the arrival of the Spanish footballer implies a small 'problem' for Florentino Pérez and Carlo Ancelotti.

The club wants to acquire a player who can play in the center of the defense and not falter on the flank. A versatile piece that can solve the possible problems Carlo Ancelotti may have throughout the season.

In that aspect, Dean Huijsen would not be the indicated profile, as he can only play in the center of the defense. On the contrary, Jorrel Hato is much more adapted to both positions. However, at Real Madrid, they are clear that they do not want to miss the opportunity to acquire the services of the Spaniard.
