Press reports said Saturday evening that Real Madrid is close to signing young Spanish defender Dean Huyssen, a player for English club Bournemouth
Reports indicate that the deal could be worth up to €50 million, which is the player’s release clause in his contract with Bournemouth. Some other sources say Real Madrid is trying to lower this amount
It appears that Real Madrid’s new coach, Xabi Alonso, is prioritizing defensive reinforcements for next season and sees Huyssen as a strong addition to the squad
If the deal is completed for this amount, Dean Huyssen will become the most expensive defender in Real Madrid’s history, surpassing the transfer of Eder Militao.
