Real Madrid have located Bournemouth youngster Dean Huijsen as a potential transfer target for the January transfer window.
Real Madrid are always predicted to be active in the transfer window. In one way or another, Real Madrid often use such opportunities to strengthen their squad.
While they haven't been as frivolous in their spending over the last few transfer windows, Los Blancos are consistently linked to the best players in Europe.
That said, an excellent market opportunity has presented itself to Real Madrid during the January transfer window. It has seen them linked with a surprising 19-year-old from Premier League side Bournemouth.
Real Madrid eye surprising transfer for 19-year-old Bournemouth star
According to a report from English outlet The Sun, Real Madrid have located Bournemouth teenager Dean Huijsen as a transfer target this January. The Netherlands-born Spain U21 international only joined the Cherries in the summer transfer window but they could make an immediate profit.
The report has stated that Real Madrid's search for a centre-back in the January transfer window has intensified, with Eder Militao suffering an injury setback until the end of the season. Therefore, Carlo Ancelotti needs to sign a defender.
Over the last few months, Dean Huijsen has moved his way into the Bournemouth starting lineup. His initial substitution appearances at the beginning of the season were impossible for fellow Spaniard Andoni Iraola to ignore.
The English report does also mention Trent Alexander-Arnold. It is not believed that the pursuit of Huijsen will deter Real Madrid from signing TAA - In fact, they eye both Premier League defenders.
It will be a test for Real Madrid to make Bournemouth and Liverpool part with their best defenders in the January transfer window. However, Real do have the benefit of being an attractive club to any player in the world, so they could count on the player pushing for a move.
