During his time with the Spain national team, Dean Huijsen has formed close connections with some of the country's most promising young stars, including Pedri and Lamine Yamal. Naturally, conversations about his club future have surfaced, with the Barcelona duo eager to know where the Bournemouth defender envisions himself next season.

According to El Nacional, Pedri and Yamal are well aware that Huijsen is inclined to join Real Madrid. Despite Barcelona’s strong interest, the young center-back has expressed a greater affinity for Los Blancos, a sentiment he has openly shared during discussions with his Spain teammates. While Barcelona’s rising stars have attempted to showcase their club’s project as an enticing opportunity—offering him a key defensive role alongside Pau Cubarsí—Huijsen remains more attracted to Madrid’s long-term vision for him.

Real Madrid, eager to reinforce their defensive line, see Huijsen as a valuable investment for the future. However, given the presence of Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, and David Alaba, his immediate spot in the starting lineup is uncertain. Still, Madrid highly values his ability to play out from the back. Barcelona, meanwhile, face significant financial constraints, making it difficult to compete with Madrid’s offer.

Bournemouth have reportedly set a price tag of €50 million, a figure Real Madrid can comfortably meet. While Barcelona hopes to make one final push, Pedri and Yamal sense that Huijsen’s decision is already made—his heart is set on the Santiago Bernabéu.
