Real Madrid and AFC Bournemouth have already agreed a transfer for the youngster with Los Blancos set to pay his £50 million release clause in instalments.

Now, with Huijsen completing his medicals successfully and signing his contract, everything is in order for him to join the Spanish heavyweights in time for the FIFA Club World Cup in June.

The 20-year-old former Juventus starlet has signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid which will run until the summer of 2030.

With Huijsen’s arrival all but secured, Real Madrid will focus on negotiating an early release for Trent Alexander-Arnold from Liverpool while also working on closing the signing of Alvaro Carreras from SL Benfica.
