Dean Huijsen’s transfer from Bournemouth to Real Madrid is on the verge of completion, with Spain international Huijsen set to make a big-money move to the Bernabeu side this summer. The highly anticipated transfer, valued at €60 million, has garnered attention from top Premier League clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who were also in the running for the 20-year-old Netherlands-born centre-back. Huijsen, who has had a remarkable rise since his €15m move from Juventus a year ago, is poised to join Real Madrid, creating a domino effect within the team.
As Huijsen prepares for his new adventure at the Bernabeu, it appears that one player who may be impacted by his arrival is David Alaba. The experienced Austria international is facing the possibility of being offloaded by Real Madrid this summer. Reports from Fichajes suggest that concerns over Alaba’s fitness levels could lead to his departure from Los Blancos. While a sale is being contemplated, there is also speculation that Alaba’s contract could potentially be bought out to facilitate his exit on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, Leeds United, the Premier League newcomers, could emerge as beneficiaries of this transfer saga. Their impressive Club Fit score of 86, as determined by analytics firm SciSports, positions them as an ideal destination for Alaba. With the club struggling defensively this season and conceding more than two goals per game on average, Alaba’s quality and experience could be a significant boost to their backline. A move to Leeds could offer Alaba the opportunity to showcase his skills without the added pressure of midweek fixtures, providing him with a platform to excel.
As the transfer window unfolds and the potential reshuffling of players at Real Madrid looms closer, Leeds United fans are hopeful that the deal for Alaba will come to fruition and further strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
