JAKARTA - Real Madrid made a surprising move after it was rumored that they wanted to bring in a sensational young defender who played for English Premier League midoker Bournemouth.

Defender Dean Huijsen is definitely not a popular figure in the Premier League. Apart from being 19, he also plays in Bournemouth who is sure to lose more than Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea or Arsenal.

Even though he had penetrated the top and is now in seventh place in the Premier League standings, Bournemouth is still seen as a midoker club. They were not taken into the Europa League zone or even competed in the Champions League next season.

However, Bournemouth has a young star who will skyrocket. Even Huijsen played a big role in keeping The Cherries from conceding when they won 1-0 over Tottenham Hotspur and then beat Manchester United 3-0.

Even Huijsen appeared sensational by scoring a winning goal against Tottenham. Against Manchester United at Old Trafford, he also opened the team's victory. The success further confirmed Bournemouth as a giant killer because he often tackled big Premier League clubs.

Previously, they humiliated Arsenal 2-0 and Man City 2-1. Only Liverpool escaped from the intercepts of Andoni Iraola's troops and instead won 3-0.

Interestingly, Huijsen is not just a coating in Bournemouth. Iraola actually gave confidence to this Dutch-born player to start in the last six matches. The trust of this Spanish manager is paid for with Huijsen's charming performance.

Interestingly, Huijsen has long been monitored by Madrid. According to The Sun, he has been on the Los Merengues radar since he was still playing at Juventus. The player who is in the center-back position joined Juve since he was 16 years old. Huijsen also briefly defended the Juventus Next Gen juventus junior team before joining the senior team in 2023.

However, he was then loaned to AS Roma until he was finally recruited by Bournemouth for 16 million. He was awarded a long six-year contract.

Moving to England did not make Huijsen free from the monitoring of the Madrid scouting team. More than that they were impressed by the impressive performance of the former Dutch national team player.

The reason is, he is able to adapt very well in the Premier League. This is what makes the Spanish La Liga giant want to bring Huijsen.

This sensational boy has also received a call from the Spanish U-21 national team. Previously, he did defend the Dutch up to the level of the U-19 team. However, Huijsen himself had moved to Spain when he was only five years old. He then changed citizenship so he could defend La Roja.

Huijsen recruitment is expected to fulfill the wishes of coach Carlo Ancelotti who needs defenders. The plan to bring in defenders is getting more intensive because Madrid lost Eder Miliato who was injured again at the end of this year.

Even Eder will again rest for a long time due to serious injuries. Previously, this Brazilian was injured by ACL which kept him out for eight months.

Only Bournemouth did not immediately release his flagship player in the January 2025 transfer window. Bournemouth is expected to only sell Huijsen on the summer exchange at a fixed price.

On the other hand, despite targeting Huijsen, Madrid did not forget the main target, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. Madrid has already put a price of 20 million for the 26-year-old defender purchase.

If you don't rush to hunt Alexander-Arnold, Madrid will wait until the end of the season when their Liverpool contract is complete. Thus, Madrid again gets the best players for free.
