Dean Huijsen is currently enjoying his vacation with close friends as he prepares for a new chapter with Real Madrid in both LaLiga and European competitions. Among his companions is Kenan Yıldız, a young talent from Juventus who is being considered by some as a potential replacement for Vinicius Jr. at the Spanish club.

A Replacement for Vinicius?

Huijsen time with Yıldız has not gone unnoticed on social media. The two players share a close friendship, and the Madrid center-back has shared moments with the Turkish star, who is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most promising young talents. Yıldız has long been on Real Madrid radar, particularly under the watchful eye of Juni Calafat, the club's key scout and talent strategist.

This connection takes on added significance given the growing uncertainty around Vinicius Jr. future at the Bernabéu. Despite publicly expressing his desire to stay, the Brazilian’s contract renewal talks have stalled, and his performance last season has raised concerns among fans.

"I hope I can stay here for many years. I’ve always said this is the club of my life. I'm very happy with everything the coach and the staff. Yes, I have two more years on my contract... until 2027. I’ve always said I want to stay here my whole career and make history with this team," Vinicius said during the Club World Cup.

However, Madrid’s Champions League exit to PSG and the forward's inconsistent form have fueled speculation about a potential departure especially with Kylian Mbappé now leading the attack and quickly becoming the team's focal point.

Yıldız: A Future Star for Real Madrid?

Huijsen’s recent post has reignited interest among some Real Madrid fans in Kenan Yıldız, who already faced Los Blancos in the Club World Cup and has impressed in Serie A. Some see him as a viable future option, especially if Vinicius fails to regain his top form or leaves the club.

For now, Dean Huijsen is making the most of his time off, but even his off-field activities are drawing attention in Madrid. Could Yıldız be the next big signing for the Spanish giants?
