SGOn July 5, Real Madrid signed Dutch full-back Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan on a four-year contract. The transfer reportedly triggered Dumfries' €20 million release clause, though the exact financial terms were not disclosed. Dumfries spent five years at Inter, joining from PSV Eindhoven in 2021, and made 207 appearances, scoring 27 goals and providing 28 assists. During his time at Inter, he helped the team win eight trophies, including two Serie A titles and three Coppa Italia awards, playing a crucial role in their recent domestic double. This move marks Real Madrid's fourth signing of the summer transfer window, aimed at strengthening their squad after a disappointing 2025-26 season where they failed to win La Liga and were knocked out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez had previously emphasized the need to reinforce the defense, identifying Dumfries as a key target. Dumfries also participated in the Netherlands' World Cup squad, which was eliminated by Morocco in the round of 32.
