Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed Dean Huijsen's representatives have landed in Madrid to close the player's deal with Real Madrid. Time to get excited...
Three things are inevitable in this lifetime: death, taxes, and Real Madrid getting their way in the transfer window. The club is about to round off the worst season in recent history, but still, the Spanish capital remains an attractive destination for any player.
As it stands, Dean Huijsen looks set to be the next player to make the switch. If the deal is sealed off, then it's likely he'll be part of a defensive overhaul, with Trent Alexander-Arnold's confirmation pending.
Huijsen recently joined the Bournemouth ranks and improved the Cherries leaps and bounds. He recently scored a pivotal goal for them, the winner against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
However, Huijsen is not known for his goals. Instead, he's known for his defensive acumen, which makes him an attractive player for Real Madrid. Los Blancos could have done with him this season, given their injury woes, but that's a story for a rainy day.
Fabrizio Romano drops transfer bombshell, and Real Madrid fans love it
As per Fabrizio Romano, Dean Huijsen's camp is in Madrid today, to potentially close the deal. The rumored contract length is five years, with salary set to be discussed today. This would see him tied down to Real Madrid until he's 25, entering the prime stages of his career.
Considering Huijsen is experienced in the Premier League and Serie A already, as well as being a fully-fledged Spain international, it makes sense that he's touted as the next big thing. He is more than ready for the step-up to La Liga.
Real Madrid's defense has been ageing for quite some time now, so it's about time Los Blancos invested in this area. After an attacking overhaul last summer, the defensive zone is now the priority.
In Huijsen, they aren't only signing a defender to fix an immediate concern, but he has the potential to become a Real Madrid legend in the long-run too.
