The father of Dean Huijsen is reportedly doing all he can to ensure that his son secures a move away from Bournemouth this summer.
However, Liverpool may not benefit from his latest action.
The defender has become one of the most discussed players among Liverpool transfer circles, with several top journalists confirming the Reds’ interest in him.
For example, David Ornstein has already confirmed that the Anfield club has held preliminary meetings with the player’s camp to understand the situation.
The Spanish international has been one of the best players for Andoni Iraola’s side this season, and his quality has not gone unnoticed by several clubs, including Liverpool, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea.
The Blues have already put in a bid for the defender, and their offer was reportedly appreciated by Huijsen’s father.
What makes the youngster such an attractive proposition in the market is his £50 million release clause, which multiple reports have confirmed.
Interestingly, this clause can be triggered and paid in three instalments, a rare structure that makes a potential deal more financially manageable for interested clubs.
This payment structure has only intensified the competition for his signature, bringing more clubs into the race.
Meanwhile, it was initially reported that Real Madrid is not willing to invest £50 million in a relatively unproven player, potentially opening the door for Premier League clubs.
However, a Marca report on Wednesday revealed that Real Madrid’s attention is now on Huijsen?
The report claims that Los Blancos are targeting two central defenders: Dean Huijsen and William Saliba.
According to the report, Dean Huijsen has made the most progress recently and is Real Madrid’s preferred option.
And now, according to SER Deportivo, Huijsen’s father, Donny, has taken extra measures to secure a transfer to Real Madrid for his son despite receiving an offer from Liverpool.
According to the report, the defender’s father has hired a law firm to negotiate a potential transfer with Madrid on the centre-back’s behalf.
They are hopeful of receiving an offer soon so they can decide an exit strategy with Bournemouth, who only signed the 20-year-old last summer from Juventus.
