Real Madrid have taken a significant step in their pursuit of Dean Huijsen, a Spanish centre-back, by sending a formal contract proposal to the player and his representatives, according to Fabrizio Romano. The 19-year-old defender is currently the subject of ongoing talks, with negotiations continuing between the parties involved.
Huijsen, who plays as a centre-back, has been the target of several top clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool, who are reportedly ready to enter the fray if complications arise. However, Real Madrid remains the player’s priority, indicating that they have a strong chance of securing his signature. The club’s interest in Huijsen was first reported in March, when they were said to have shown interest in signing the young defender.
The player’s transfer has been the subject of much speculation in recent weeks, with several top clubs vying for his attention. In April, it was reported that Huijsen was being chased by several clubs, with a price tag of £50m attached to his transfer. At the time, the player’s ambitions were said to be a key factor in his decision-making process, with Real Madrid being considered a potential destination. Huijsen has previously played for Juventus U23 and is currently under contract with Bournemouth, although his current club status is not clear from the latest reports.
