Fabrizio Romano claims that Arsenal is “in regular contact” to take advantage of any possible “collapse” in Dean Huijsen’s deal to Real Madrid.
In order to support William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, the Gunners are searching the summer transfer market for a new center-back.
Earlier this week, transfer analyst Romano revealed that Huijsen’s contract has a £50 million release clause that all three teams are willing to pay.
A move appears close, though, as it has been reported that the Spain international “dreams” of leaving Bournemouth for La Liga powerhouse Real Madrid this summer.
Prior to Romano revealing that Bournemouth had approved a contract for Huijsen, the Premier League’s three clubs had missed out.
With a £50 million release clause that must be paid by the end of 2026, Bournemouth has accepted Real Madrid’s terms for Dean Huijsen’s contract, Romano stated on X. Club-to-club deal
“Huijsen always prioritized Madrid, so final approval was required to move forward and finalize the deal with the player’s camp.”
With the Cherries vying for the European positions throughout the season, Huijsen has been in outstanding form for the South Coast club.
In the rare event that a deal with Real Madrid falls through, Romano has offered Arsenal supporters optimism that they may still sign Huijsen.
Following Trent Alexander-Arnold and Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid’s new coach, Dean Huijsen is anticipated to be the team’s third ‘Here We Go’ of the summer, the Italian journalist stated on his YouTube channel. Despite the fact that clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal called to inquire about Dean Huijsen’s condition, including tonight, he consistently gave Real Madrid precedence.
In order to determine what will happen and whether they can still compete in the event that the transaction falls through, Chelsea and Arsenal have been in constant communication over the past 24 hours. This has long been a point of contention between Chelsea and Arsenal.
“I have a contract until 2030, [but] I do have a [release] clause,” Huijsen responded when El Chiringuito TV questioned him about his future.
We’ll see. I’m not sure if I’ll join Real Madrid. The team is large. Every player aspires to perform at the best level they can. “Go to Real Madrid,” a friend told me over the phone. I chuckled. “What will I say?”
