Real Madrid expected to send first bid for Dutchman soon; player has a €25 million release clause | OneFootball

Although the presidential elections are just around the corner, Real Madrid have not taken a step back from their market activity.

They are actively looking to reinforce the team for the season ahead, with the left-back area emerging as one of the points of concern as both Alvaro Carreras and Fran Garcia have not been able to live up to the expectations.

Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Denzel Dumfries recently, and it appears the club are ready to make a move.

According to Sky Sports, Real Madrid are indeed keen on acquiring the services of Dumfries this summer, in an attempt to shore up their options in the left-back position.

The club, in fact, are soon expected to launch their first bid for the Inter Milan star, who will be a part of the Dutch team in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This could be a significant move by Real Madrid, as the club desperately need an alternative to both Garcia and Carreras, who has had an indifferent debut season since returning to the club.

Ferland Mendy, meanwhile, has continued to struggle with injuries and faces an uncertain future at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid’s interest in Dumfries has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, who has further revealed that the player has a €25 million release clause at Inter Milan.

The Italian transfer expert adds that Real Madrid are aware of Dumfries’ package at Inter Milan, which should make the operation much easier.

If Real Madrid opt to pay the full release clause, they won’t even have to negotiate with an Inter Milan side, which will be determined to keep hold of their defenders this summer.

Dumfries, though, is not the only fullback Real Madrid are interested in, with the club also tracking the progress of Ivan Fresneda and Pedro Porro.
