Real Madrid Pulls out the Calculator to Transfer Dean Huijsen, There's Already a Price

Real Madrid is still considering different possibilities to strengthen Ancelotti's team

The future is already here. Something well known in the offices of Real Madrid, especially because the transfer market has opened its doors with the new year.

Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, supported by Juni Calafat, remain focused on the present, but with an eye on the future.

This explains why the Madrid entity isn't clear about making any transfers in January, as they don't want to compromise the 2025-2026 season.

The reality is that there are many voices within the white club, including Carlo Ancelotti, calling for a central defender addition.

The doubts arise because Alaba is already working with the group, something seen in the open-door training session at the Alfredo Di Stéfano.

This makes the list of possibilities extensive, both for January and for June, although in recent hours the name of Dean Huijsen has emerged.

Bet on the present and the future

This Bournemouth center-back was signed for 15 "kilos", a figure that is very economical for the talent of this young 19-year-old defender.

The performance offered by the Spaniard under Andoni Iraola's orders has been more than outstanding.

However, his departure won't be so accessible, something that Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are well aware of.

The merengue sports officials will have to dig deep into their pockets to secure this bet on the present and the future.

"Bournemouth, aware of their player's potential, has set his price at a figure exceeding 60 million euros. This value reflects not only his current quality but also the growth potential the player still has," they explained in Fichajes.net, a figure accessible to all the economic powers of the Old Continent.

This figure could be attempted to be lowered by Real Madrid by including a player, although it won't be easy, so they'll have to move quickly if they want to have Dean Huijsen for the 2025-2026 season.
