Overview
- Both Real Madrid and Inter Milan confirmed on Sunday that 30-year-old Denzel Dumfries has completed a permanent transfer to Real and will be contracted until June 30, 2030.
- Clubs did not publish the fee but multiple outlets reported Real activated Dumfries’ release clause in the region of €20–25 million to secure the move.
- Real see Dumfries as a rugged, attack-minded option on the right who will provide competition for the starting spot and help replace outgoing captain Dani Carvajal.
- Dumfries leaves Inter after five seasons in which he made 207 appearances, scored 27 goals, provided 28 assists and won eight domestic trophies including two Serie A titles.
- The transfer is Real’s fourth summer signing and it has left Inter scrambling for replacements, with the club linked to targets such as Anan Khalaili after one pursued target joined Chelsea.
