Image source, Getty ImagesThey say you should never fall in love with a loan player. This season, the same might be said for our permanent gs too, as Dean Huijsen, after just one campaign at Bournemouth, is moving to Real Madrid for £50m.
It feels like yesterday that we watched the Cherries entertain Los Blancos in a pre-season friendly, a fixture boasting the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Mesut Ozil. While the game itself was, perhaps aptly, a "white-washing", who knew that just over a decade later we would be supplying their stars of the future.
At the time we signed him, he was hotly tipped as a player of the future - tall, combative, comfortable with the ball at his feet, but also, someone who likes to get up the pitch and score goals too.
With a solid defensive partnership of Marcos Senesi and Illiya Zabarnyi, it was not really known what impact he would have during his first season, but everything changed when Marcos picked up an injury against Wolves in November.
Huijsen lived up to the hype.
When he leaves, Huijsen will have clocked up no more than 30 league appearances, meaning that, once Juve's sell-on fee is settled, he will have made Bournemouth £1m for each match he played.
In hindsight, it feels like £50m is a steal, but the fact is, how did we know how good he would end up being?
His success is testament to all areas of the club. For Bill Foley investing the money in the club, for our recruitment for finding him, and for Andoni Iraola - whose job has been remarkable.
There have not been many players who have been so influential in such a short time at AFCB, but Huijsen leaves the club with all Bournemouth fans fully behind him.

This is not a must-win game for Manchester City's top-five hopes but they could really do with a victory here.
Four points from their past two games against Bournemouth and Fulham will almost certainly see City finish in the Champions League places because of their goal difference, but their home form is much better than their results on the road and they certainly will not want to go to Craven Cottage on the final day needing a win.
Mind you, this game will not be straightforward for City either. Bournemouth have already beaten them once this season and ran them close in the FA Cup quarter-finals too, so we know they can cause them problems.
City's home form has been much more reliable of late, however, with four wins at Etihad Stadium in a row, and that is the main reason I am backing them here.
It is Kevin de Bruyne's final match at the Etihad, but City are going to have to play well to give him the send-off he deserves, and they need him to perform too.
De Bruyne has been a phenomenal player for City and it would be fitting if he can say farewell with a goal or one of his trademark assists.
Sutton's prediction: 3-1

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Premier League game at Manchester City (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On Dean Huijsen: "You never want to lose this kind of player. He has been very good for us but there is a part also that you feel happy for him because he goes to Real Madrid. I think it is what he really wanted to do and we hope everything goes well for him after these two games."
Iraola added: "I have no doubts he is ready for the jump. He has the level - not only on the football side - the maturity, the confidence in himself to go there and perform."
On team news, Iraola itted they will "finish pretty thin" and "will need some young players in the squad".
Iraola said Alex Scott has had a mask fitted but his return date will depend on how comfortable he is with it. He added that Scott is currently having to eat with a straw but he wants to play. Iraola did not rule him out of their final day game against Leicester but itted it would be "very difficult".
Iraola watched City's FA Cup final defeat by Crystal Palace and thinks their approach approach against Bournemouth will be different. On the result's significance, he added: "Even if it means we have less chances now to qualify for Europe I think we have to congratulate Palace because a team that is not the six/eight teams that are fighting for titles winning a title like the FA Cup is good overall for the league and for football."
On the race for Europe: "We are playing away against City in a game where they are in need to play for Champions League [qualification]. It is not the scenario you want but it's the one we have right now and we have to try to go there and play our game. It's true that after the FA Cup final the chances to get into Europe are very limited."
The Bournemouth boss praised Manchester City and said they are pushing to finish the season strongly: "They don't give you anything. You have to be very patient, mentally very ready to suffer because no-one is having a lot of chances, nobody is having a lot of the ball against them and I felt these last two months they are really pushing to finish well."
Image source, Getty ImagesBournemouth have had more shot-ending high turnovers than any other side in the Premier League this season (65). However, Manchester City have faced fewer shots from high turnovers than any other side in the competition this term (28).
City have scored 13 goals from outside the box in the Premier League this season, more than any other side. However, the Cherries have conceded just two goals from distance, fewer than anyone else.
Before this season, Crystal Palace's victory at Wembley would have tidied up the European qualification position within the Premier League.
However, England gaining a coveted European Performance Spot has added a layer of complication, which is why Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth and Fulham fans should not give up hope of a Conference League place just yet.
Here is why.
Ordinarily, England gets four Champions League places, two in the Europa League, for the FA Cup winners and the fifth placed team and one in the Conference League for the Carabao Cup winners.
So far, so straightforward.
If the Carabao Cup winners qualify for one of the higher ranking European competitions, the Conference League spot goes to the next team down in the Premier League.
Just as Manchester United or Tottenham will qualify for the Champions League because one of them will win the Europa League after finishing outside the Champions League places, the same is also true for Chelsea if they win the Conference League and finish outside the Europa League places.
Still with me?
The complication comes through EPS. So, while fifth now gets you into the Champions League and sixth into the Europa League, for the purposes of competition qualification, the EPS situation doesn't count.
So, if Chelsea finish sixth and win the Conference League, without EPS, they would already be in the Conference League berth, so they go into the Europa League as Conference League winners and England would not take its Conference League place. With EPS added, instead of the sixth-placed team (Chelsea) qualifying for the Europa League through their league placing, because they are already in, the seventh-placed team benefits. So that would be three English teams in the Europa League and none in the Conference League.
By the same process, if Chelsea finish seventh and win the Conference League, without EPS, they would qualify for the Europa League despite being outside the European places, meaning three English teams in the Europa League – Chelsea, Palace and the fifth placed team – and one – the sixth-placed team – in the Conference League. With EPS added, everything drops down a place BUT as Chelsea are already in the Europa League, instead of the Conference League spot going to them after finishing seventh, it goes to the eighth placed team.
In other words, the teams battling for eighth need Chelsea to win the Conference League and to finish seventh.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Dean Huijsen swapping the Vitality for the Bernabeu, after Real Madrid activated the 20-year-old defender's £50m release clause.
Here are some of your replies:
Brad: I think this is a great result for the Cherries - huge profits! We have been great with our gs, such as losing Solanke only to break our league points record the next season after g Evanilson. I have no doubts we'll bring in great talent yet again to replace Deano. Although, I will miss cheering his name at the grounds.
Roger: For the majority of Bournemouth fans, this is not a surprise. Dean has been outstanding for us all season and a wonderful talent, so he deserves his opportunity at Real Madrid. Thanks for everything Deano - you know we will miss you but we are wishing you every success.
John: He looked a natural defender from the moment he stepped out at Bournemouth. He showed confidence and vision beyond his age. He looks and plays like the late and great Bobby Moore!
James: Disappointing to see him go, however he wanted to go so it is always best to get the deal done and maximise profit. All of this is crucial in the days of PSR.
Robert: A real shame for us, as he is a great player, but a superb and well earned move for him. My stepson s Real Madrid, so we will still him!
Martin: I'm not a Bournemouth fan, but that is great business for them. Find a promising player at a low price, see them deliver and then make over £30m profit on them. They will be an interesting team to watch in the summer transfer window. If they spend the money wisely, they should get European football.

Huijsen, 20, made 30 Premier League appearances having signed for the Cherries for a fee of around £12.8m in July of 2024.
What do you think of the news Bournemouth fans? Is this super business or a frustrating day?

Bournemouth will allow defender Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid before the Club World Cup in June.
The 20-year-old has already been subject of a £50m club-to-club agreement and that deal will allow the one-time Spain international to debut at the newly expanded tournament in the United States.
However, Madrid are still looking to finalise over a five-year contract but plan to schedule a medical as early as next Tuesday should talks conclude this weekend.
Madrid also hope sign Liverpool's departing right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold for the Club World Cup but have yet to agree an early release from his contract at Anfield which officially expires on 30 June.
Madrid still have a little bit of work to do but Huijsen has given his priority to ing the 15-time Champions League winners and the remaining negotiations over personal are expected to be concluded.
They won the race against clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle in the Premier League - with Bayern Munich also known to have held an interest.
In Madrid, this victory would be seen as similar to the one that saw them win the race to sign Jude Bellingham from under the noses of then-reportedly interested clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool in 2023.
Negotiations have been led by CEO Jose Angel Sanchez and chief scout Juni Calafat.
Huijsen has been a club target since the age of 16, when he had a tour of the club's facilities with his former footballing father Donny, before opting to Juventus instead.
Although a target before new manager Xabi Alonso's expected arrival from Bayer Leverkusen, the coach spoke to Huijsen on the phone and explained how he will fit into his expansive and progressive style of play.
There is also a financial package which multiple sources say is around £7.5m a year but could rise to over £9m based on performances.
Amsterdam-born Huijsen also said he simply "feels Spanish" before making his debut against the Netherlands in March.
Madrid see Huijsen as important for the short-term as they aim to win the Club World Cup this summer with him, Alexander-Arnold and Alonso all in place to boost the squad as Carlo Ancelotti departs for Brazil. They also believe he could be at the Santiago Bernabeu for the next decade.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, have always expected Huijsen to choose Madrid and are pleased that they won't have to see him line up for a Premier League rival.
They have been shocked that Huijsen, who initially ed as a back up option for Marcos Senesi, has adapted so rapidly to the English top flight and attracted such transfer interest so quickly.
But they also see it as a success that, having signed him for £12.6m from Juventus last summer, they can more than quadruple their money in less than 12 months.
Bournemouth have set a £45m price tag for their 21-year-old Hungary left-back Milos Kerkez, who is wanted by Liverpool. (iSport), external
Image source, Getty ImagesIn addition to Premier League manager and player of the season, the shortlist for young player has also been announced.
Chelsea's Cole Palmer is in the running to win the award for the second year in a row.
The 23-year-old forward has 15 goals and eight assists in 35 appearances.
Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch and Liam Delap, who has scored 12 of Ipswich's 35 goals, are also on the eight-player shortlist.
The other nominees are Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest), Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth), Joao Pedro (Brighton), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), and William Saliba (Arsenal).

Image source, Getty ImagesTiago Pinto, Bournemouth's president of football operations, was crucial in the g of Dean Huijsen.
The Portuguese ed the Cherries from Roma in 2024, where he was general manager.
He was key in landing Huijsen, having watched the former Roma defender on loan at the Stadio Olimpico that season.
Those with knowledge of the negotiations say Pinto knew he could exploit Juventus' need to sell players.
This is despite one source in Turin saying they thought Huijsen could become "world class" even when he started out in their academy teams.
Bournemouth ended up g Huijsen for £12.6m, in a deal potentially rising to £15m.
After an injury to team-mate Marcos Senesi, Huijsen broke into Bournemouth's starting XI and hasn't looked back.
He was exceptional on his third Premier League start, scoring a towering header in a 1-0 win over Tottenham at Vitality Stadium in December.
He has since made his debut for Spain and been ever-present in Andoni Iraola's defence.
Once a move to the Bernabeu is completed, the Cherries will have quadrupled their initial outlay on the defender.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe ups and downs of Bournemouth's season have been encapsulated by their past two games - with the highs of completing a league double over Arsenal contrasting with the lows of Saturday's defeat by Aston Villa which may have snuffed out a hope that would have been unfathomable until recently - a first tilt at Europe.
Indeed, with the Cherries' penultimate league game put back because of opponents Manchester City's participation in the FA Cup final, that European dream could be extinguished before Andoni Iraola's side next kick a ball.
Victory for Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday would remove the permutation of eighth place qualifying for the Conference League, but even if City prevail, a league win for Brentford on Sunday or Brighton on Monday would leave the Cherries with a mountain to climb when they visit City on Tuesday.
All this disappointment rather overshadowed a milestone reached against Villa when defender Adam Smith notched up his 400th Bournemouth appearance.
The former Tottenham right-back now stands sixth on the Cherries' all-time appearance list, needing seven more to match James Hayter and break into a "top five" also featuring Ray Bumstead, Sean O'Driscoll, Neil Young and Steve Fletcher.
Smith first ed on loan from Spurs for the 2010-11 season before moving permanently in January 2014, and his career has shown unusual longevity in the modern era, becoming the only player in Bournemouth's history to feature under seven different permanent managers (excluding caretakers).
Indeed, in the past six years the Cherries have signed four other, younger right-backs, all of whom might have been seen as a long-term replacement for Smith - but so far, he has "seen off" all four.
Jack Stacey signed from Luton in 2019 but left for Norwich two years ago, while Ryan Fredericks arrived with Premier League pedigree from West Ham in 2022 but departed last summer after an injury-plagued spell at Vitality Stadium.
Max Aarons came from Norwich in 2023 (effectively trading clubs with Stacey) but found himself out of favour and was loaned out to Valencia in January, while Julian Araujo signed a five-year deal from Barcelona last summer, but has had to be content with the role of Smith's back-up for now.
While Lewis Cook's versatility and ability to deputise at right-back has meant Smith has sometimes been sacrificed if Iraola is chasing late goals, he remains an important figure in the dressing room.
And whether or not their European chances come down to the last day of the season, with Smith and Cook having recently opened a barber shop together in Canford Cliffs, they will know all about how to cope with a close shave.
Image source, Getty ImagesFor the players and fans, Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi getting this injury in a situation where the offside flag should have been raised is so frustrating.
The frustration is when it is clear and obvious. Officials have been overseeing games for many years and they would always flag whether they were right or wrong.
Now technology has come into it, they are very reliant on VAR to make the right decision, the factual decision, about an offside. But, I think when an offside is so clear and obvious, it should be the duty of the assistant referee to put their flag up and stop play from the off.
When it is marginal, I understand we are a bit more hesitant when there are really fine margins, and we have seen those fine margins when goals have been given and it is a toenail to keep them on-side. I would understand it from that point of view, but it was on the halfway-line where the offside happened on Sunday, only for play to be allowed to continue.
It has been a matter of time. It has been a time bomb waiting to go off for somebody to get seriously injured. Awoniyi is the one that has got that injury - that horrific injury - because of it. Some will say it is only the first time it has happened in the duration of this rule, but it should never happen. That is how players will be looking at it, how fans and managers will be looking at it and saying 'it should never happen'. We should not wait for something to happen to reassess rules like this.
I don't like the ruling of it - it is on the halfway-line, it is clear and obviously offside, everybody in the stadium could probably see it. It should be for the assistant referee to make the decision. There are small margins in the box, I understand why they are a bit hesitant, but in open play, if somebody is sprinting, you could cause hamstring, quad, and all types of muscle injuries.
I am totally against this rule of waiting to put up the flag and I think most players and managers are as well. It's disappointing. I think it's a rule that nobody likes, and I'm sure in the summer off the back of this injury, one that will probably be reassessed.
