Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen is scheduled to undergo his medical in Spain ahead of a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Madrid had initially agreed a £50m transfer to sign the Spain international from Bournemouth, with the centre-back undergoing medical ahead of a massive La Liga switch to the Spanish Capital.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Madrid have agreed to sign Huijsen from Bournemouth for a £50m fee, and the 20-year-old has been granted permission to travel for a medical.

Fabrizio also revealed that both Madrid and incoming manager Xabi Alonso view the young defender as a top talent for the future.

He also reports that Huijsen was a top target for incoming manager Xabi Alonso, as the club aims to revamp their backline. They are also keen to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer after the right-back confirms his Liverpool exit ahead of a free transfer to Real Madrid this summer.

The 20-year-old is now set to play in La Liga for the first time, wearing the white jersey of the 15-time Champions League winners, and could feature in the Club World Cup for Los Blancos in June.

The Netherlands-born defender moved to Bournemouth from Juventus last summer, for an initial £12.8m, so the Cherries are making an immense profit on the center-back.

The center-back has made 30 Premier League appearances this season, with the club safely in 10th place in the Premier League standings.

Before agreeing a deal with Madrid, earlier reports had revealed that Liverpool were front-runners to secure the signature of the 20-year-old, while Chelsea and Arsenal were also reported to have registered an interest in the youngster.

Interest from the Bernabeu gathered pace few days ago when reports revealed that Real had intensified talks with Dean Huijsen and Bournemouth over a summer move.

The player is now said to be undergoing a medical and is set to sign a five-year deal that will keep him at the club till 2030.

Bournemouth are preparing to face Manchester City and Leicester before the Premier League season comes to its climax, and Huijsen is expected to say goodbye to the fans against the Foxes, barring unforeseen circumstances in negotiations.
