The current favorite to sign Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth is Real Madrid.

There have been discussions, and it is believed that if Madrid advances in the talks, it is what the Spanish international wants.

The stipulations of Huijsen’s £50 million release clause with Bournemouth are to be paid in three installments.

Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, and Chelsea have all expressed interest, but they are now leery of Madrid’s involvement in talks.

Since coming from Juventus last summer, the 20-year-old has had an incredible season under Andoni Iraola and made a name for himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising center backs.

When Huijsen was a young player at Malaga, Madrid had previously entertained the idea of signing him.

Chelsea has several center backs on their list, including Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton, Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, and Jorrel Hato of Ajax.
