Bournemouth's 20-year-old Spain centre-back Dean Huijsen dreams of joining Real Madrid, but Premier League trio Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal are prepared to trigger the defender's £50m release clause to get the deal done this month.

Los Blancos are in the heart of a defensive rebuild, with Trent Alexander-Arnold arriving as a free agent and several centre backs being eyed, such as Arsenal star William Saliba and Huijsen. As a result, an offer for the ageing Rudiger could prompt a tough decision for incoming manager Xabi Alonso.

Dean Huijsen's exit from Bournemouth is now agreed after a heated transfer race involving Chelsea, Liverpool, Real Madrid and others.

Multiple sources report this evening that Real Madrid have agreed a €58m deal with Bournemouth to sign Dean Huijsen, which means Juventus will receive €5.8m.
