Chelsea and Liverpool target Dean Huijsen accepts Real Madrid offer

Real Madrid are one step closer to bringing in central defender Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth, after the 20-year-old reportedly gave the green light to their contract offer. Huijsen is believed to be prioritising a move to Los Blancos this summer.

Following recent reports that Real Madrid had sent a contract offer to Huijsen and his camp, Cadena SER now say that Huijsen has given the green light to join Real Madrid. He has been made aware of Xabi Alonso’s plans for him, and will discard the offers he has from Premier League sides in the process.

If Real Madrid can get a deal done with Bournemouth, then the plan is for him to arrive at the Santiago Bernabeu after Spain’s Nations League fixtures in early June, and in time for the Club World Cup. Huijsen had become Real Madrid’s priority for central defence, and Alonso also signed off on the deal, with the decision to move for him taken by the club.
