Semenyo: Huijsen predicted Real Madrid move when he left Juventus for Bournemouth

“He called it, and we were like, “What are you talking about?”

Real Madrid secured a deal to sign Hujsen even before the beginning of the 2024-25 summer transfer window.

“When the talks started happening, I was thinking: ‘Oh my God, this is madness if it goes through,” Semenyo concluded.

Huijsen, 21, has made 35 appearances in his first season at Real Madrid, scoring two goals.
