Raúl Asencio and Dean Huijsen have emerged as two of Luis de la Fuente's most notable additions to Spain's national team roster. Both players have earned their spots in the European champions' squad, standing out in their respective roles. Asencio, a product of Real Madrid’s youth academy, has shattered expectations under Carlo Ancelotti, establishing himself as an undisputed starter ahead of experienced players like David Alaba and Aurélien Tchouaméni. His consistent performances have endeared him to the Santiago Bernabéu faithful, positioning him as a central defender for the future.

Huijsen’s journey has been different but equally impressive. Signed by Andoni Iraiola's Bournemouth last summer, the promising center-back has quickly risen to become a defensive leader for the Premier League’s surprise package. His performances have been exceptional, leading many to speculate that a move to Real Madrid could be on the horizon next summer.

As both players trained at Las Rozas with the national team, many Real Madrid fans began to imagine them as a potential duo for the club. With Huijsen’s transfer fee rumored to be just over €50 million, the young center-back could be a valuable addition.

Melchor Ruiz, a journalist for Cadena Cope and a regular contributor to RMTV, has fueled the speculation further with his cryptic message: "Asencio and Huijsen? Maybe they could also play together at..." Though he hasn’t directly mentioned Real Madrid, fans have interpreted it as a hint that Huijsen might be a summer signing for the club, especially given Rüdiger’s injury and Alaba's inconsistent form.
