Real Madrid confirm Dean Huijsen signing from Bournemouth

Real Madrid has secured a major transfer by signing Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth. The 20-year-old international centre-back made his debut for Spain in March and already holds internationals with Italy and Japan. Huijsen, who joined Bournemouth from Juventus and previously played in the Premier League with both club, will join Real Madrid on a five-year contract starting in June 2025. The transfer was finalized to ensure he remains available for the Club World Cup this summer. Madrid is also reportedly targeting full-backs ahead of the tournament, while Huijsen's signing comes as they tackle significant defensive injuries this season.
