Dean Huijsen's £50m move to Real Madrid caps off a remarkable rise for a defender who was struggling to get in the Bournemouth team seven months earlier.
The 20-year-old Spain centre-back became one of the Premier League's most consistent centre-backs, after replacing the injured Marcos Senesi in December.
The Cherries almost quadrupled their money, having paid a maximum of £15m to sign him from Juventus last summer.
BBC Sport looks at the 6ft 5in defender's rapid ascent.
How good has Huijsen been?
Huijsen ranks highly in many different categories for Premier League defenders to play at least 1,000 minutes this season, per 90 minutes.
