Real Madrid have officially confirmed the signing of Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan, strengthening their defensive options ahead of the new season.

The Spanish giants announced that the Netherlands international has signed a contract running until 30 June 2030, making him the latest addition to Xabi Alonso's squad.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the deal was completed after Real Madrid activated the defender's €20 million release clause, with the full amount paid to Inter Milan.

Dumfries arrives in the Spanish capital following a highly successful four-year spell at Inter. The right-back joined the Italian club from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2021 for €14.2 million and went on to establish himself as one of Serie A's most reliable attacking full-backs.

During his time at the San Siro, the 30-year-old made 207 appearances across all competitions, scoring 27 goals and providing 28 assists. He also played a key role in Inter Milan's domestic success, lifting two Serie A titles, three Coppa Italia trophies and three Supercoppa Italiana crowns.
