Real Madrid has signed Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries from Inter Milan on Sunday for about 20 million euros, which is around $23 million.
"We have reached an agreement for the transfer of player Denzel Dumfries, who will be with our club for the next four seasons, until June 30, 2030," Madrid said in a statement.
Dumfries, who is 30 years old, played as an attacking right-back for the Netherlands in the World Cup. The team was knocked out in the round of 32 after losing on penalties to Morocco.
Dumfries will bring more competition at right-back, joining England international Trent Alexander-Arnold.
He joined Inter Milan from PSV Eindhoven in 2021. During his time there, he won two Serie A titles and finished as a runner-up in the Champions League twice.
This transfer makes Dumfries the fourth signing for Madrid this summer. The other signings are Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva, and Ibrahima Konate.
Madrid recently brought in Portuguese veteran Jose Mourinho as the new coach. He replaces Alvaro Arbeloa. The club is making big changes after not winning a major trophy for two straight seasons.
Los Blancos also extended the contract of centre-back Antonio Rudiger until 2027. This comes after Dani Carvajal and David Alaba left the club at the end of last season.
