Real Madrid’s 20-year-old center-back, Dean Huijsen, was a target for Paris Saint-Germain, as his agent Ali Barat revealed to Foot Mercato. Luis Campos reportedly presented the Parisian club’s project to him for 2024, before Real Madrid entered the race.
“Luis Campos, as always, was among the first to recognize his potential.”
“Luis Campos, as always, was among the first to recognize his potential, and in 2024, PSG was a real option. However, Dean felt he would have more opportunities to play regularly at Bournemouth than at PSG.
When Real Madrid entered the picture, they showed the strongest conviction and presented a project perfectly aligned with his long-term development. At this level, decisions aren’t just about the biggest financial offer; they’re about the best career path.”
PSG and Luis Campos are still keeping an eye on several other potential signings. Unfortunately, some clubs, like Real Madrid or FC Barcelona, can enter the competition and present a better project for the player. It all comes down to the details and the player’s personal preferences.
Real Madrid remains the most prestigious club in Europe; they dominated the continent just five years ago, so it’s difficult to compete with that image. However, PSG, as the newly crowned Champions League winners, have undoubtedly gained even more credibility, combining their financial power and image with sporting dominance, now at the European level.
