Liverpool bids €70m for Real Madrid defender Dean Huijsen

Liverpool FC, led by manager Andoni Iraola, have tabled an initial €70 million bid for centre-back Dean Huijsen. The bid aims at the Real Madrid CF defender.

Huijsen, a product of Real Madrid's youth system, currently occupies a defensive role at the Spanish club. His contract status has not been disclosed.

The prospective transfer hinges on Huijsen's prior link with AFC Bournemouth, which could generate a capital gain for Real Madrid. Accounting profit from the move is cited as a key factor.

If the deal proceeds, Liverpool would bolster their back line ahead of the upcoming season. Iraola's interest signals a strategic push for defensive reinforcement.
