Real Madrid have started searching for centre-backs as they want one in the upcoming summer transfer window. Madrid are reportedly targeting Bournemouth’s defender Dean Huijsen as the centre-back is currently attracting clubs from all over Europe. Earlier, it was reported that William Saliba was targeted by the Los Blancos but now the deal looks difficult as the defender seems to be expensive.

Real Madrid have started scouting centre-backs ahead of the summer transfer window, with Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen emerging as a key target. The 19-year-old defender, currently on loan from Juventus, has been attracting interest from several top European clubs due to his impressive performances in the Premier League.

Los Blancos were previously linked with Arsenal’s William Saliba, but a deal now seems unlikely due to the Frenchman’s high price tag. As a result, Madrid are shifting their focus to more feasible options, with Huijsen fitting the profile of a young, promising defender who could strengthen their backline for years to come.

With Rafa Marín expected to return from loan and Madrid already boasting solid defensive depth, it will be interesting to see how they approach their centre-back reinforcement strategy this summer.
