Real Madrid are “actively pursuing” in-demand Bournemouth phenom Dean Huijsen and remain confident of beating Premier League rivals to his signature, according to recent reports from Spain.
The 20-year-old has enjoyed an incredible debut campaign in England after signing for the Cherries last summer, profiting from Marcos Senesi's mid-season injury to earn a run of appearances. Since then, the defender hasn't looked back.
Huijsen's performances have been so outstanding that he's even earned two Spain senior caps this term, adding to 33 outings for Bournemouth in which he's scored three times. Naturally, the world's elite are circling him.
According to Marca, the starlet is being watched closely by Madrid, who know he boasts a €58m ($65.1m) release clause in his current deal. However, they are not the only suitors, with a host of Premier League sides—led by transfer window protagonists Chelsea—also interested.
