Determined to win all laurels next season, Spanish giant, Real Madrid, has signed Netherlands full-back, Denzel Dumfries, from Inter Milan on a four-year deal, to boost the quality of its first team.
While the transfer fee has not been confirmed by the club, the Spanish side has reportedly activated the 30-year-old’s release clause, which was 20m euros (£17.1m).
The right-sided player, whose deal was confirmed by the club on Sunday, is Real’s fourth summer signing after Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konate, and is set to provide competition to England international Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Dumfries helped Inter win the Serie A title twice and the Coppa Italia three times after joining the Italian club from PSV in 2021.
He made 207 appearances for the Nerazzurri, claiming 27 goals and 28 assists, and helped the Netherlands reach the last 32 at this summer’s World Cup.
Real failed to win a trophy last season, and president Florentino Perez promised to strengthen the club’s defensive options during his successful re-election campaign, having also brought in Jose Mourinho as manager for a second spell.
