class="wp-block-paragraph">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.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">The Italian transfer expert adds that Real Madrid are aware of Dumfries’ package at Inter Milan, which should make the operation much easier.

>

class="wp-block-paragraph">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.
