Newcastle want to sign Liverpool center back as Dean Huijsen alternative

Dean Huijsen is the name on everyone's lips right now, and with Real Madrid ramping up their interest in the Bournemouth breakout star, the 19-year-old is becoming an even more popular name on the transfer rumor mill. According to a report from top transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle still want to sign Huijsen this summer but believe it won't be easy for them to get a transfer done for the teenage Spanish international.

Real Madrid are upping their interest in Dean Huijsen

Real Madrid have watched Eder Militao go down with a season-ending injury for two seasons in a row, taking the club's best center back - and one of the best center backs on the planet - away from them. Although Real Madrid have unearthed one of the best young center backs in the world in Raul Asencio this season and have high hopes for fellow prospect Joan Martinez, who tore his own ACL before his 2024/25 breakout could ever begin, they can't like their depth too much right now. Antonio Rudiger is still effective but getting older, while David Alaba may be finished at the top level after his torn ACL last season. Aurelien Tchouameni is an option at center back, but he's not a reliable one, particularly against top teams like Barcelona. Real Madrid will have their eyes on an ascend...
