After officially signing his contract and partaking in the official photoshoots, the player took to the press to express his emotions. To start, the 20 years old defender showered words of gratitude to the Real Madrid president:

“Thank you president. I am where I wanted to be. I was sure about this since day 1. This is the best club in the world. I’m here to give everything. Hopefully we will win many titles together.
This is my club, my boyhood club, and I hope to spend MANY MANY YEARS here. This is the best day of my life. I’m living a dream.”

After a breakthrough first season at Bournemouth, Huijsen sure did receive interest from several European heavyweights. On that subject, the player said:

“Since Real Madrid called, I had no eyes for other clubs.”

Xabi Alonso has only been Real Madrid’s head coach for about a week now, and about his new boss he said:

“I spoke to Xabi Alonso. He told me what he’s expecting from me. I think these will be beautiful years.”

Huijsen wore 2 at Bournemouth and 12 for Spain. On why he chose the 24 at Real Madrid, he said:

“I chose #24 because it was available. I am delighted to wear any number here.”

Making the jump from Bournemouth to Real Madrid for €50M can prove to be tricky for a player who is just 20 years old. On the topic of if he feels any pressure, the player responded:

“Pressure? I think when I play I’m relaxed and I never think about outside things. I’m doing what I love, living the dream. And I always look to give 1000%.”
 “My transfer fee is not a concern for me. I’m here to give my all and help the team. I think I’ve proven that I’m prepared for this challenge. I want to win titles, I want to win EVERYTHING POSSIBLE.”

On his idol as a defender, the 20 years old responded without any hesitations:

Sergio Ramos is my idol. He texted me when my signing was official. He is my maximum idol, the most compelte CB ever.”

To conclude, the player left a word for Real Madrid and football fans around the world:

“I’m a chill guy and now I’m a Real Madrid player.”
