Stars in Europe - Netherlands - Keyplayer - Transfer - Denzel Dumfries moved to Real Madrid

Denzel Dumfries

The Details
Real Madrid completed another signing this summer. Denzel Dumfries moved to Los Blancos from Inter Milan on a four-year contract.

The numbers 
Dumfries made 207 appearances for Inter Milan after arriving from PSV Eindhoven in 2021, contributing 27 goals and 28 assists. Along the way, he helped the Nerazzurri win two Serie A titles and three Coppa Italia trophies.

The bigger picture
Dumfries was Real's fourth signing of the summer, part of a busy rebuild. He was expected to provide direct competition for England's Trent Alexander-Arnold at right-back. A clear signal of president Florentino Pérez's promise to fix the club's defensive frailties after a trophyless season.

On the world stage
Dumfries also helped the Netherlands reach the last 32 at that summer's World Cup.

Fact
Real Madrid's defensive rebuild continued.
