All real madrid

FIFA Club World Cup: Just hours after Spanish giants Real Madrid confirmed the signing of Dean Huijsen, head coach Carlo Ancelotti reflected on the importance of signing defensive reinforcements after coming off a season plagued by injuries.

In order to secure the signing, Madrid triggered his release clause, which was set by Bournemouth at 50 million Pounds. The 20-year-old joins Los Blancos on a five-year contract. Madrid have wanted to complete the signing as soon as possible in order to give the defender time to settle in before the FIFA Club World Cup.

“He's a great player, with a great future and potential. He's a very good signing. All Real Madrid signings bring excitement, because this team is always at the top and always wants to be at the top. Last year, we didn't think it was possible to strengthen there because we had the return of Alaba and Militão and Carvajal, but injuries have hurt us,” said Ancelotti in a press conference.
