Real Madrid's Plan B if the Huijsen Deal Stalls: 2 Names on the Table

The issue with the future of the defense remains one of the most important for Real Madrid. With the clear intention of renewing this position, Real Madrid has set its sights on Dean Huijsen. The young Bournemouth center-back has impressed the Madrid leadership with his future potential and the talent he has been showing.

However, his release value has presented a major problem for Real Madrid. Close to 60 million euros is the amount Real Madrid must pay if they seek to finalize Huijsen's signing. An amount that Real Madrid aims to reduce to 40 million plus variables, being an offer that Bournemouth has not accepted.

In light of this, Real Madrid has begun to analyze other options for the defense, finding two stars. The first is the youth player Joan Martínez, who has enviable potential, while the second is Sam Beukema from Bologna.

Alternatives to Huijsen

At 19 years old, Dean Huijsen has dazzled everyone by proving to be a very solid and prepared center-back. Standing out from the first minute with Bournemouth, Huijsen has had a similar performance with the Spanish national team. Considered one of the talents and revelations of the season, Real Madrid's interest is understandable.

However, even with the great capital the team has, Madrid has always maintained strict control over its finances. Despite exceptions, Real Madrid strives to make signings for which they don't have to spend a lot of money.

That's why Joan Martínez, 17, and Sam Beukema, 26, have been considered as substitutes for Huijsen's signing. Martínez would be a transfer for which Real Madrid wouldn't spend a single euro, while Beukema's signing would be for 30 million.

Real Madrid's Options

Despite the great interest caused by Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid has shown that they still have several options for their defense. If an agreement is not reached with Bournemouth, Real Madrid clearly knows the moves they must make.
