Real Madrid have signed defender Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth in time to play in the Club World Cup after the Spanish giants activated his £50m release clause.
The 20-year-old has signed a five-year deal which will allow him to debut at the newly expanded tournament in the United States.
Both clubs confirmed the move with Madrid saying that one-time Spain international Huijsen will officially join on 1 June.
Their first match of the Club World Cup is against Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal on 18 June.
The fee will be paid in three instalments, with Huijsen’s two former clubs set to receive a slice of the fee – Juventus are due 10% and Malaga 5%.
Huijsen had as many as seven offers on the table, and had attracted interest from Premier League clubs Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle.
