A number of clubs from the Premier League and beyond have been locked in battle for the signing of Dean Huijsen after the Spanish international’s impressive breakout season
Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen will join Real Madrid at the end of the season, the Cherries have confirmed. The Spanish club have met Huijsen’s release clause, worth £50million.
“The centre-back, who joined the Cherries from Juventus last summer, has been instrumental in the club’s record-breaking campaign, which has seen Andoni Iraola’s side already break their highest points tally in the Premier League,” a Bournemouth statement read. “Huijsen has made 30 appearances in the top flight this season, scoring goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal.
“The 20-year-old also earned his first caps for the Spanish national team in March, following a string of impressive performances for the Cherries. Everyone at AFC Bournemouth is looking forward to working with Dean for the remaining two games of the Premier League season, before he embarks on the next step of his career.”
Real Madrid have issued a statement of their own about the move, confirming he will join on June 1. That makes him available for the upcoming Club World Cup.
