Huijsen has established himself as one of the top defenders in the Premier League, catching the attention of several top European football clubs. Despite being linked to clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool, Real Madrid has made the first move to sign him. The Spanish international is now close to joining Los Blancos, with only personal terms to be finalized.

According to reports, Huijsen's representatives have traveled to Madrid to discuss the details of the transfer. The defender could be one of the first signings of Xabi Alonso, who is set to take over as Real Madrid's manager at the end of the season. This move comes as the club prepares to build a strong defense, with Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool also set to join the team.

The transfer deal involves a five-year contract, with the £50 million clause to be paid in three installments. Huijsen's contract is being finalized, and the deal is expected to be completed soon.
