Dumfries arrives as a direct replacement for Carvajal and is expected to compete for the starting berth with Trent Alexander-Arnold. José Mourinho has sanctioned the move. A physical, attack-minded right-back with sharper defensive discipline than Trent, Dumfries is the profile Mourinho is likely to deploy against elite opposition.
Securing Carvajal‘s long-term successor for €25 million represents sound business. Dumfries has spent several seasons operating at the highest level with Inter Milan, accumulating the experience and tactical understanding needed to contribute immediately at Real Madrid.
