Unexpected twist: Barcelona player helped Real Madrid

The Spanish and European media are unanimous: Dean Heysen should become Real Madrid's second summer signing after Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract should be officially signed in the near future. The club from the Spanish capital has bet on the young 20-year-old Spanish defender to strengthen their rearguard. And partly thanks to Barca defender Pau Kubarsi.

According to Marca, Real Madrid decided to pay attention to Heysen during the last international break, when he became a member of the Spanish national team. His presence in the double match against the Netherlands was not expected. However, the injury of Pau Kubarsi forced Luis de la Fuente to call up Heysen as a reinforcement, and it was then that he caught the attention of Real Madrid with his calm and reliable play. After that, Madrid began to monitor the player more closely in the league.
