Spain star Dean Huijsen seems to leave Bournemouth this summer with Real Madrid in the race to sign the 20-year-old defender.
Huijsen appeared in January on Los Blancos Transfer Radar, after he had tried and not recruited him a few years ago, and the La Liga Giants reportedly made contact with his camp about a possible deal.
The highly appreciated defender openly has his consciousness of interest from Madrid and his pride admitted that he is connected to the club.
However, the most important problem seems to be focused on Bournemouth's asking price for the La Roja Center Back, with a release clause of € 60 million in its current deal.
Real Madrid is said to be doubtful about the idea of ​​spending such a large fee to a player with only one full season of top experience.
Bournemouth has a strong position and Real Madrid could now look elsewhere to strengthen their back line, with Chelsea that improved in the race.
According to Diario As, the blues are happy to activate his exit clause, and they have made a strong pitch for the representatives of Huijsen, who tends to a switch to Stamford Bridge.
The latest information indicates Chelsea who is planning to move quickly, and Enzo Maresca wants him in place at the beginning of June and before the club World Cup in the US.
The path of Chelsea may have been made even smoother in recent days, claiming that Newcastle United will not pursue a move for Huijsen.
Eddie Howe failed last summer with a series of offers for Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi and he is concerned that a similar situation can be activated with Huijsen.
The Magpies fight for the qualification of the UEFA Champions League – which would stimulate their finances – but Howe does not want a bid war and there is a fixed chance of Huijsen's final prize that will rise in the coming months.
