Dean Huijsen Mocked by Barcelona Players at Spain National Team Camp

Dean Huijsen is reportedly facing an uncomfortable atmosphere at the Spanish national team training camp after several Barcelona players were seen mocking his recent move to Real Madrid.

The 20-year-old centre-back is on the verge of becoming Real Madrid’s most expensive defensive signing, with a transfer fee reportedly reaching £50 million from Bournemouth for the 2025/26 season.

No Official Unveiling, But Already Training with La Roja

Although Huijsen has not yet been officially presented at the Santiago Bernabéu, he immediately joined the national squad for preparations ahead of Spain’s UEFA Nations League semifinal match against France.

Replacing Inigo Martinez for National Duty

The talented defender, who received his first senior national team call-up just a few months ago, has been included as a last-minute replacement for Íñigo Martínez, who was ruled out due to injury before Spain’s clash with the Netherlands.

As the national team gears up for a crucial match, the young defender’s early experience with Spain’s elite squad has been far from ideal — thanks to behind-the-scenes rivalry between Barcelona and Real Madrid players.
