Dean Huijsen is emerging as one of the most sought-after names in the upcoming summer market. The young center-back, currently with Bournemouth, has caught the attention of several European giants, with Real Madrid seeming to have an edge in the race for his signing. However, in the last few hours, a new heavyweight competitor has emerged: Bayern Munich.

The Madrid club had made progress in securing the future of the Dutch-Spanish defender. There was even a meeting between the Madrid entity and the player's representatives at Valdebebas, a clear sign of the interest in incorporating Huijsen as a generational replacement in defense. His profile fits perfectly with Madrid's transfer policy: youth, talent, and potential.

Bayern Have Doubts About Their Central Defense

But the plans of the Madrid team could be disrupted. According to journalist Christian Falk of the newspaper BILD, Bayern have included Huijsen among their priorities to strengthen a defense that has suffered significant injuries this season. The situation of Dayot Upamecano, whose contract renewal is still uncertain, and the physical problems of Hiroki Ito have led the German club to seek immediate reinforcements.

Huijsen's contract runs until 2030, but there is an exit clause close to 60 million euros, a figure that neither Madrid nor Bayern see as unaffordable. However, the Bavarian team must first adjust their wage bill before undertaking an operation of this magnitude.

With Eric Dier's continuity assured, Bayern are not ruling out making an effort for Huijsen, seriously complicating Real Madrid's plans. The battle for one of the most promising defenders on the continent has begun.
