Real Madrid have sealed a deal to sign Dutch right‑back Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan, with the Spanish giants set to trigger his €20 million release clause. All terms are fully agreed, and the transfer is now considered closed pending medical tests and final formalities.

Dumfries has accepted Real Madrid’s offer, choosing the European champions as his preferred destination. Negotiations between Madrid and the player’s camp had been progressing throughout the day, with the club emerging as the clear favourite for his signature.
Softfootball understands that Liverpool were also keen on the defender and had maintained interest since January. However, even after Arne Slot’s departure from the club, Dumfries remained focused on joining Real Madrid, leading him to prioritise the move to Spain.
