- Bournemouth defender has £50m release clause
- Huijsen’s preference is to join the Spanish side
Real Madrid are ramping up their efforts to sign Dean Huijsen and are confident of beating Chelsea to the Bournemouth centre-back.
Huijsen’s contract contains a £50m release clause, reportedly to be paid in three instalments, and he is attracting interest from English and European clubs. Chelsea have been considered favourites for the Spain international, who has also been targeted by Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Newcastle, although that has partly been down to doubts over whether Madrid are prepared to pay a big fee for the defender.
