Real Madrid Sign Denzel Dumfries From Inter Milan

Real Madrid have completed the signing of Dutch right-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan after activating the defender’s reported €20 million release clause.

The Spanish giants confirmed on Sunday that Denzel Dumfries has signed a four-year contract that will keep him at the club until 30 June 2030.

“Real Madrid and Inter Milan have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Denzel Dumfries, who will be linked to our club for the next four seasons, until June 30, 2030,” Madrid said in a statement.

The 30-year-old arrives after four successful seasons at Inter, where he made 207 appearances, scored 27 goals and won eight major trophies following his move from PSV Eindhoven in 2021.

Inter paid tribute to the Netherlands international in a farewell message, saying: “Five years of simply beautiful things: The love and affection from the fans was always repaid with determination and grit on the pitch.

“The moment of farewell arrives after a triumphant season, that of the double [Serie A and the Coppa Italia].

“Best of luck, Denzel. It has been wonderful winning together.”

Dumfries strengthens Madrid’s options at right-back, where he is expected to compete with Trent Alexander-Arnold for a starting place.

He becomes the club’s fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konaté.

Madrid are rebuilding their squad under new head coach José Mourinho after replacing Álvaro Arbeloa. The club have also extended the contract of Antonio Rüdiger until 2027 following the departures of Dani Carvajal and David Alaba at the end of last season.
