Dean Huijsen tells Real Madrid to sign £45m star who has agreed ‘personal terms with Liverpool’

After turning down Liverpool to sign for Real Madrid, Dean Huijsen has recommended to Los Blancos a top target of Arne Slot, according to the Spanish media.

Liverpool and Madrid were keen on signing Huijsen from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window. Chelsea were also interested in the Spain international centre-back, who had a release clause of £50million in his contract at the Cherries.

Despite Liverpool showing a willingness to trigger that release clause and having talks with Huijsen’s representatives, the defender chose Madrid instead.

TEAMtalk’s transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, reported that Madrid wrapped up the deal for Huijsen in just six hours.

It has now been reported in the Spanish media that Huijsen has told Madrid to sign Milos Kerkez in the summer transfer window.

TEAMtalk transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, reported in September 2024 that Liverpool are keen on signing Kerkez from Bournemouth in the summer of 2025.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that Bournemouth want £45million for the Hungary international left-back.

Trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano reported this week that ‘Kerkez already has an agreement on personal terms with Liverpool’, adding that the Premier League champions are in contact with the Cherries.

Defensa Central has revealed that Huijsen has told Madrid to sign Kerkez.

Los Blancos are looking for a new left-back and have the 21-year-old on their radar.

The report has noted in the headline: ‘Huijsen recommends him to Real Madrid as a signing’.

When Madrid asked Huijsen about Kerkez, the defender said that the left-back is ‘ very good on the pitch and brilliant off it’.

Real Madrid stance on signing Milos Kerkez

Despite Huijsen recommending Kerkez to Madrid, the Spanish giants are not going to make a move for the Bournemouth ace.

According to Defensa Central, Madrid have thanked Huijsen for his comments on Kerkez, but they want to sign Alvaro Carreras from Benfica instead.

The 22-year-old Spaniard is one of the best young left-backs in Europe and has been a star for Benfica since his move from Manchester United in 2024.

This will come as a boost to Liverpool in their pursuit of Kerkez.
