Real Madrid officially successfully recruited the first new player of the summer of 2025

(Dan Tri) - Real Madrid announced the successful signing of centre-back Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth for £50 million. This is Los Blancos' first signing in the 2025 summer transfer window.

Although the season is not over yet, Real Madrid have announced their first new signing of the transfer window, Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth. The club's homepage announced: "Real Madrid and Bournemouth have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Dean Huijsen. The Spanish player will be with Real Madrid on a five-year contract, until June 2030."

According to many sources from Spain, Real Madrid have agreed to pay £50 million to release Dean Huijsen, who is nominated for the 2024/25 Premier League Young Player of the Year award.

Dean Huijsen will still be able to join Real Madrid in the FIFA Club World Cup in the US. They will play the opening match of the tournament against Al Hilal on June 18.

Dean Huijsen is a member of the Spanish national team. However, this central defender was born in the Netherlands, trained at Juventus (Italy). Before moving to Bournemouth last summer, Dean Huijsen played 15 matches in Serie A for two clubs Juventus (1 match) and AS Roma (14 matches).

It was only when he joined Bournemouth that Dean Huijsen really found his breakthrough in his career. Initially, the player born in 2005 was just a reserve player for the central defenders Marcos Senesi and Illia Zabarnyi at Bournemouth, but after getting the chance to play as a starter, Dean Huijsen played extremely well.

This season, Dean Huijsen has played 34 times for Bournemouth in all competitions and scored 3 goals. Thanks to that, the 1.95m tall center-back has been called up to the Spanish national team and played 2 matches.

Real Madrid's defense this season is not really solid when Alaba and Militao are constantly injured. Young center back Raul Acencio is used quite a lot. However, Los Blancos still need more players to carry the club's defense, especially when the team's schedule is very tight.

After Dean Huijsen, Real Madrid will likely welcome Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer from Liverpool.
