English giants Liverpool have set their sights on the contract situation of Dean Huijsen, the young centre-back currently playing for Real Madrid.
At 20 years old, the Spanish player is experiencing a lot of emotions at the Bernabeu, having arrived just before the Club World Cup. Although his arrival caused unprecedented excitement due to his technical ability, his role in the Real Madrid lineup has been unstable recently.
Liverpool’s sporting directors, always on the lookout for opportunities to sign young talent, are preparing a financial offer that is hard to ignore. The English club are reportedly ready to spend €70m to convince Real Madrid’s board this summer.
This offensive comes after analyzing the 28 matches the defender has played for Los Blancos this season. While he has shown a quick adaptation, some parts of the season have raised reasonable doubts about his permanent place in the Real Madrid project.
Liverpool believe the defender possesses the ideal qualities to thrive in the physical and demanding style of football currently played in England. His ability to play the ball out from the back and his imposing physique make him the perfect complement to the Reds’ defence.
The player, who cost 50 million euros from Bournemouth, has a legal contract with the Spanish club until the summer of 2030. However, the possibility of recovering the investment and making an immediate profit is tempting the offices at the Santiago Bernabeu at the moment.
Huijsen has shown with the Spanish national team that he has the ability to take on big challenges, but the competition within Real Madrid is fierce these days. Therefore, the player’s circle would not be against a return to England in a much more prominent role.
Liverpool are closely monitoring every training session and every minute the Spaniard-Dutchman plays in the final stretch of the Spanish league season. Their aim is to submit an official offer as soon as the transfer window opens to avoid unnecessary bidding wars with other clubs.
