Dean Huijsen had no desire to join another team once he learned that Real Madrid was interested.
Madrid announced the signature of the Spanish central defender of Bournemouth last month on a contract until July 2030.
LOS BLANCOS paid for the liberation clause of 50 million pounds sterling to secure the services of Huijsen, Madrid beating several teams from the Premier League to his signature.
The defender born in Amsterdam aroused generalized interest following an excellent campaign in which he helped Bournemouth in ninth place in the Premier League.
But there was only one place where Huijsen wanted to go there once Madrid entered the race to sign it.
“Thanks to the club and the president [Florentino Perez]”Said Huijsen during his presentation.
“I wanted to be here from the first day. Since Real Madrid called, I had no eyes for other teams.

“I join the best club in the world and I am here to give everything. I will work as hard as possible, remaining humble, to win many trophies together.
“Madrid is the club of my life, and I hope to be here for many years to come. Hala Madrid. “
Huijsen is likely to make his debut in Madrid at the Club World Cup, where Xabi Alonso will supervise his first games in charge after taking the relay of Carlo Ancelotti.
“I spoke to Xabi Alonso. He told me what he expected from me,” added Huijsen.
“I think I integrate myself very well in the type of football he wants and that it will be great years.”
Presence of Huijsen, President Florentino Perez said: “We have a large team, with great talent and exceptional players. This is why we are happy today because a player has arrived that burst into the world of football with the necessary force, Dean Huijsen.
“You have chosen to wear this shirt because it was your biggest dream since you were a child. Your parents and siblings know how hard you have worked to become one of the best central defenders in the world.
“In one of the most prestigious leagues, you have established yourself as one of the best central defenders in the world and we are proud that you now wear the Spanish jersey.
“You are an elegant and modern central defender. Many clubs wanted you, but you were clear that you wanted to play for Madrid.”
