There is already a date for Huijsen's presentation, official debut with Real Madrid
Dean Huijsen will be presented as a new Real Madrid player this Thursday at Valdebebas. The young center-back, one of European soccer's most promising talents, will officially wear white in an event that will mark the beginning of his time as a Madridist.
The Madrid fans already desired it. After a season without titles, the club is starting to make moves.
Excitement is returning to Santiago Bernabéu and the first step was Xabi Alonso's arrival on the bench. The second is to introduce the new signings.
The first was Huijsen. The Dutch defender, who arrives from Bournemouth, will join Xabi's project with the goal of establishing himself among the elite.
a £50 million ($60 million) signing
Real Madrid have completed the transfer for £50 million ($60 million). It's a strong bet on a player who is only 20 years old, with plenty of room to grow. The figure makes Huijsen one of the most expensive young defenders in the club's history.
The Madrid club trust his potential and his fit within the new system Xabi Alonso is planning. Huijsen has shown character, reliability, and great ball distribution in the Premier League. Now he will have to prove it at Santiago Bernabéu.
a nod to Madridists
Huijsen himself has set social media abuzz. On his Instagram account, he shared a childhood photo of himself wearing Madrid's jersey.
He accompanied the photo with a message that moved the fans: "We're going home." It's a clear nod to his childhood dream.
Florentino Pérez hasn't waited for May to end. Sports planning is underway. In addition to Huijsen, the Madrid club is finalizing other deals.
In the coming days, the announcement of Alexander-Arnold's signing is also expected. The English full-back will arrive from Liverpool. Another top-level reinforcement for a squad that wants to reign in Europe again.
That's not all. Álvaro Carreras, Benfica's left-back who trained at Manchester United, is also very close to signing. It would be a move to strengthen the defense ahead of the next Club World Cup.
Huijsen's presentation will be just the beginning. The new Real Madrid is starting to take shape with new faces and new hopes. Madridists are dreaming again.
