Dean Huijsen is global football's most current and hottest young phenomenon. He is now widely regarded as Europe's top center-back in his age group, and he is just getting better.
The teenager has played football for some of Europe's major teams. He came up via Juventus' youth and went on loan to AS Roma before joining Premier League club Bournemouth in 2024.
Real Madrid are said to have developed a strong affection for the player. The club's center-back position is constantly in risk, and having a talent like Huijsen would be an excellent addition to the team.
Real Madrid to face Huijsen competition from four European giants
It should be noted that Madrid's interest in the player is not unique. Huijsen's outstanding performances have piqued the curiosity of a number of football teams, who have begun to study his position, growth, and contract status at Bournemouth.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, certain European teams might cause serious problems in Real Madrid's pursuit of Huijsen, who appear to have acquired a strong interest in the player.
He stated that Chelsea, for the case in point, have been following Huijsen since January and have a strong relationship with those close to the player. The Netherlands-born Spanish player is highly regarded at the London club, and they constantly monitor him.
Next, Liverpool appreciate Huijsen and have made first contact to see how Bournemouth's release clause works. It is also alleged that Juventus have kept a sell-on clause in his Bournemouth deal.
Moving forward, Fabrizio added Bayern Munich to the list of clubs. Since September 2024, the German club has been watching the player with its scouts.
Newcastle United are also said to be interested in the player, but whether or not they sign depends on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League next season.
It is realistic to anticipate that Madrid's pursuit of Huijsen will not be simple. Several elite clubs are after him, and something big would be required to entice him.
