Real Madrid Confidencial The 2 dates marked on Madrid's calendar: Huijsen and Arnold will be presented
Everything indicates that their presentations will take place between Tuesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 12
Real Madrid is preparing the presentation of their first two signings of the summer. Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be officially presented as new blancos players before the start of the Club World Cup.
The most likely dates are already marked on the calendar. Everything suggests that their presentations will take place between Tuesday, June 10 and Thursday, June 12. This is what sources close to the club report, although there is still no official confirmation.
The club's idea is clear. Xabi Alonso wants to have both from the start of preseason. Integrating them as soon as possible will be key for their adaptation to the new system. That's why, in Valdebebas, they are working in advance to finalize the last details of the welcome event.
Although the club still hasn't announced anything, the forecast is firm. Only a few adjustments remain, such as administrative procedures and the schedule of the internationals.
Huijsen and the Nations League affect the plan
One of the reasons why no date has been made official yet is the presence of Huijsen with the Spanish national team. The center-back is drafted to play the Nations League final on Sunday, June 8 against Portugal. That day is ruled out for his presentation.
In addition, if Spain wins, the federation is planning an official celebration in Madrid. Huijsen, as part of the group, would have to attend. This could delay his presentation even further.
In the case of Alexander-Arnold, the player has no commitments that week. He could be presented earlier. Even so, the club wants both to step onto the Bernabéu field together or, at most, on consecutive days.
Madrid doesn't want to wait any longer
Florentino Pérez and the sporting management have a clear plan. Madrid wants both Huijsen and Arnold to arrive as soon as possible. Not only to please Xabi Alonso, but also to show authority in the market.
The arrival of these two defenders strengthens the back line after doubts about the future of players like Rüdiger or Nacho.
In the absence of an official announcement, Madridist fans can already mark that range of days on their calendars. Barring unforeseen events, Bernabéu will experience a double top-tier presentation in the second week of June.
