If Dumfries Renews with Inter Milan, Madrid Focuses Elsewhere

Denzel Dumfries has officially renewed his contract with Inter Milan, putting an end to rumors linking the Dutch right-back to Real Madrid. According to reports, Dumfries will now earn 4 million euros net per season, a salary that would have fit within Real Madrid’s wage structure. However, it’s clear that Madrid was never seriously pursuing his signing.

The decision aligns with the confidence the club has in Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vázquez, both of whom had strong seasons with the team. Carvajal, as a starter, and Vázquez, with his backup role, have convinced Carlo Ancelotti and the Madrid hierarchy that the right-back position is well-covered for the time being.

Future Plans for Madrid’s Right-Back Spot

Despite their current satisfaction with the position, Real Madrid’s management knows that a long-term plan is necessary. One name that has generated significant interest at Valdebebas is Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose contract with Liverpool expires in 2025. The club is keeping an eye on the market and may consider a move when the time comes to reinforce the right-back role.
