Chelsea Also Want the Spanish Centre-Back
Chelsea are also in the race.
They have reportedly opened talks with Bournemouth and are ready to activate Huijsen’s £50 million release clause.
The Blues see him as a strong addition to their young squad.
Why Huijsen Is in Demand
Huijsen joined Bournemouth from Juventus last summer for £12.5 million.
Since then, he has impressed with his composure, strength, and reading of the game.
Now, both clubs want to sign him before the FIFA Club World Cup in June.
Madrid’s Defence Needs Fresh Talent
Real Madrid’s defence may see changes this summer.
With veterans aging and injury concerns, Alonso wants a young, reliable centre-back.
Huijsen fits that role with his maturity and technical skills.

Chelsea’s Long-Term Plan Includes Huijsen
Chelsea have focused on signing young talent.
Adding Huijsen would strengthen their backline and align with their future-focused project.
The London club believes Premier League experience gives them an edge.
Race Against Time
Both clubs want the deal done quickly.
The FIFA Club World Cup is approaching, and integrating Huijsen early is a priority.
For Bournemouth, this could mean a huge profit—over 300% in just one year.
The Final Decision Lies With Huijsen
Huijsen must now choose:
Real Madrid offers legacy and prestige. Chelsea offers growth and game time.
Either way, this will be one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.
