According to reports, Real Madrid is focusing on other targets, which may allow English clubs to take the lead. The player intends to make his decision by late May or early June.

Dean Huijsen, the Bournemouth center-back, has been one of the standout performers this season, establishing himself as one of the brightest young talents in Europe.

Huijsen has openly expressed admiration for Real Madrid, but recent developments suggest a Premier League move is more likely.

Despite Real Madrid’s favorable position to sign him for a reasonable fee (€58 million release clause), the latest reports indicate that a transfer to another Premier League club is more probable.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Huijsen does not want to prolong his decision and aims to choose his next club by late May or early June.

Romano also revealed that three clubs are leading the race for his signature: Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

All three clubs are prepared to meet Huijsen’s release clause, and the key question is which project will convince him to join. The player is expected to make his final decision soon.

Where does Real Madrid stand?
The club is unwilling to pay Huijsen’s release clause. Currently, Real Madrid is focused on other matters, including managerial changes with Carlo Ancelotti’s departure and the potential arrival of Xabi Alonso, as well as the ongoing transfer saga of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
