Dean Huijsen

Dean Huijsen is a 20-year-old center-back who plays for Real Madrid. He is a recent high-profile signing, with Real Madrid reportedly paying €62 million to Bournemouth to acquire him, making him the most expensive center-back in the club's history. This transfer followed Huijsen's previous experience playing in the Premier League (36 games) after initially gaining attention in Serie A with Roma (14 games). He is currently in the news due to his involvement with the Spanish national team, participating in training camp ahead of friendly matches against Serbia and Egypt. Huijsen has expressed that he hasn't yet performed to the level he believes he is capable of. His presence in the Spanish squad is notable, especially given questions surrounding the team's defense leading up to the World Cup.
