Madrid Considers a Defensive Shake-Up as Premier League Interests Grow
9 March 2026
Market context
Real Madrid are open to selling one of their players in the summer of 2026, having joined the club last season.
CaughtOffside reported that Madrid not rule out letting Din Huisen go, after failing to convince with his performances.
The Dutch defender arrived from Bournemouth last summer after string of impressive displays in the Premier League.
Madrid are reportedly considering a sale price of about £54 million, a figure that could tempt several suitors.
Implications for Arsenal, Liverpool and the club
The clubs linked with Huisen haven’t been named, but Arsenal and Liverpool have previously been connected, and his contract runs through 2030.
Arsenal already have strong depth, so Huisen may not be a priority there, while Liverpool want to bolster their back line.
With Ibrahim Konaté's uncertain future, Huisen could offer a sensible solution for a club refreshing its defense.
