Real Madrid and Dean Huijsen have reached an agreement to bring the center back to the Spanish capital, per MARCA.
The Spanish outlet reported that talks between the two parties have accelerated and "the deal is done." Huijsen has yet to officially sign with Real Madrid, but Fabrizio Romano further reported the deal with Bournemouth on the club side is done. The club still need to negotiate with the player.
Should the signing come to fruition, Real Madrid would need to pay Huijsen's £50 million ($64.8 million) release clause, payable in three installments. The 20-year-old signed a six-year contract with the Cherries after joining the Premier League side from Juventus last summer.
With aspirations of having Huijsen play in the FIFA Club World Cup, it is in Real Madrid's best interest to get the potential deal done as quickly as possible to take advantage of the first summer transfer window opening on June 1.
