Real Madrid are on the verge of securing the signing of highly-rated centre-back Dean Huijsen, with the player’s representatives currently in Madrid to finalise personal terms.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Thursday, an agreement has already been reached between Real Madrid and the selling club. The Spanish giants are expected to activate Huijsen’s £50 million release clause, which will be paid in three instalments.

Negotiations are still ongoing over the length of the contract, with a five-year deal currently under discussion.
