MADRID:
Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen will join La Liga side Real Madrid from June 1 after signing a deal with the Spanish side until 2030, both clubs said today, making him eligible to play in next month’s Club World Cup.

Premier League side Bournemouth said Real activated a £50 million release clause to sign the 20-year-old on a five-year deal.

Real, keen to have Huijsen for the Club World Cup in the US, beat several clubs to one of Europe’s most sought-after young players, after his impressive campaign since joining Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth last year from Juventus.

The centreback made 34 appearances in all competitions for Bournemouth, scoring three goals.
