Bayern Munich offers him a starting spot and he accepts, confirmed, Dean Huijsen finds out and notifies Real Madrid.

Dean Huijsen has been, without a doubt, one of the best signings for Real Madrid in recent years. At just 20 years old, the center-back has established himself as a key piece in Xabi Alonso's system. His transfer from Bournemouth, for a fee close to €55 million, is already considered a masterstroke by Florentino Pérez.

In just a few months, Dean Huijsen's market value has risen to €70 million. His adaptation has been meteoric, and his defensive performance outstanding. Strong in tackles, dominant in the air, and with impeccable ball distribution, the young defender has won over Bernabéu with a maturity beyond his years.

At the white club, they see him as an investment for both the present and the future. However, Dean Huijsen himself knows that his growth depends on being surrounded by footballers of the highest level. On his left, he has Álvaro Carreras, another successful signing who shines in his own right, but on his right, there are some doubts.

Real Madrid seeks new partner for Dean Huijsen

Militao, Rüdiger, Asencio, and Alaba make up a roster of center-backs with enormous stature. Four proven players, but with very different ages, forms, and characteristics. That's why, looking ahead to next season, Real Madrid's sporting management plans to strengthen the center of defense once again.

The club's scouts have been working in that direction for months. The shortlist includes big names like Dayot Upamecano, Guéhi, Schlotterbeck, and Konaté. They all fit the profile Xabi Alonso is looking for: fast center-backs, good on the ball, and capable of playing with a high defensive line.

Bayern Munich moves ahead of Real Madrid

However, in recent hours, Real Madrid's plans have become complicated. Bayern Munich has taken the lead with Dayot Upamecano, who was one of the favorites for the white club. The French defender's contract ends this summer, and his possible departure on a free transfer made him a very attractive market opportunity.

The problem for Real Madrid is that the Bavarian team has reacted in time. According to German media, Bayern Munich has decided to accept the conditions Upamecano requested to renew. Vincent Kompany, his coach, believes the Frenchman is an essential piece of the project and has promised him a starting spot for next season.

Bayern Munich will make the renewal official in the coming days, securing Dayot Upamecano for several more years with an improved salary. Upamecano, who arrived at Allianz Arena in 2021, has chosen to stay in the Bundesliga and reject offers from abroad. For Real Madrid, this is a significant setback in their sporting planning.

Dean Huijsen won't play with Dayot Upamecano

Dean Huijsen has already learned the news and has quickly shared his opinion with the white club's sporting management. The young center-back understands that Dayot Upamecano won't be his teammate at Bernabéu next season and is asking for clarity about the next steps. Those close to him value very positively that the club keeps the ambition to continue strengthening the back line.

With the Frenchman out of the equation, Real Madrid has activated other plans. The name that is most favored right now is Ibrahima Konaté, whose contract with Liverpool is entering its final stage. At 26 years old, the French center-back combines physical power, European experience, and a tactical profile that would greatly help Dean Huijsen.
