Dean Huijsen did not waste the opportunity to join Real Madrid, even though he almost joined Chelsea, Liverpool and PSG were also interested in signing him, but once Real Madrid came calling, he closed the door on the club even though he was offered a higher salary than he received at Real Madrid.
His contract with Madrid will start on June 1, 2025 and will officially play in the Club World Cup, this deal also makes Huijsen the most expensive defender in Real Madrid history.

It is clear that Alonso will want to strengthen Real before the new season, Real's problematic positions are obvious and Alonso has enough time to find the players needed for this. The defense has long been Real's weak point and it is not surprising that Alonso began to work primarily in this direction, I am more surprised why Ancelotti did not do this, although it was obvious that this was the weakest line. Maybe Perez will be right in choosing Alonso as the new coach, so far he is making the right steps.
