📞 The phone call that changes everything
While Chelsea was already preparing the visuals for the official announcement,A simple call from Xabi Alonso would have collapsed the cards castle. Bayer Leverkusen coach, recently crowned champion of Bundesliga, would have contacted Personally Huijsen forpresent to him another career plan, even more ambitious: to become the future pillar of his defense in a team promised to great things in Europe.
But that’s not all. According to indiscretions from Spain, Alonso also approached Chelseawith an unexpected and difficult to refuse proposal: anddirect exchangeertre Dean Hujines etRodrigo, the young 22 -year -old Spanish attacking midfielder, trained in Real Madrid, currently losing speed in Leverkusen.
Rodrigo, despite his undeniable talent, would no longer enter Alonso’s plans for next season, due to the likely arrival of several recruits. Chelsea, who is precisely looking for a technical profile capable of hosting the midfield,would see in Rodrigo an immediate and less expensive alternative to several targets of the Premier League.
🤯 Huijsen disturbed, Chelsea hesitates

The defender would not wish to make a hasty decision: “Dean does not want to rush, he feels that each choice can impact his career over the next 5 to 10 years,” says a member of his entourage.
Meanwhile, Chelsea delayed. The technical staff is divided: some believe that you have to go to the end of the huijsen track and pay the clause, others prefer to accept Alonso’s offer and recover Rodrigo,A versatile and immediately operational option.
⏳ An imminent decision, a market under tension
