Real Madrid trigger Dumfries' €20m release clause as he undergoes medical

Real Madrid have officially informed Inter that they have triggered Denzel Dumfries’ €20 million release clause, and the defender is undergoing medical tests in the Netherlands while on international duty. He was suspended for the friendly against Algeria after being sent off in the previous match, providing a window for the examinations.

The club plans to wait until the upcoming presidential elections at the Bernabeu before making a formal announcement. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says the necessary steps are in motion and that the clause will technically activate at the beginning of July, when Los Blancos are ready to formally welcome him.

Madrid have made the full-back positions a priority, leaving Inter with little room to negotiate as they prepare for the departure of one of their most reliable performers. The move will end a successful five-year spell in Italy. Dumfries joined Inter from PSV in a €14m deal in the summer of 2021, and across 207 appearances for the Nerazzurri he scored 27 goals and provided 28 assists.
