Real Madrid have reportedly made Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen their ‘number one defensive target’ this summer over Arsenal star William Saliba.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Los Blancos are keen to sign a centre-back after suffering several injuries this season.<\/p>\n

Eder Militao is out for the season with a torn ACL, while David Alaba also missed a significant chunk of the season due to a cruciate ligament tear.<\/p>\n

Arsenal centre-back Saliba<\/a> has long been considered as an option for Real Madrid<\/a> due to his excellent defensive performances in the Premier League.<\/a><\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> star Ibrahima Konate and RB Leipzig’s Castello Lukeba have also been linked with moves to the Santiago Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

However, Bournemouth teenager Huijsen, is now reportedly seen as Madrid’s number one option.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid Consider Move For Dean Huijsen<\/h2>\n

Spanish publication Marca<\/a> report that Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen is Real Madrid’s primary centre-back target this summer.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old has made 27 appearances this season and scored in victories over Tottenham and Manchester United.<\/a><\/p>\n

Born in Amsterdam, the Manchester United and Liverpool target, Huijsen is a Spanish citizen after moving to the country when he was five.<\/p>\n

He could receive his first senior cap this month after receiving his first international call-up as a late replacement for injured Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano<\/a> has reported that a \u00a350m release clause for the Bournemouth star will become active this summer.<\/p>\n
