Dumfries spent much of the season sidelined, from late November to early March, recovering from ankle surgery. Despite his absence, Inter dominated the domestic campaign. He still provided an assist in the 2-0 cup final win over Lazio. That assist helped the Nerazzurri secure a domestic double.
To replace him, Inter are pursuing Marco Palestra, though the Atalanta right-back—currently on loan at Cagliari—is expected to cost at least €50m.
At Real Madrid, Dumfries will challenge Trent Alexander-Arnold for the right-back berth after club icon Dani Carvajal departed. The 27-year-old, who joined on a free transfer from Liverpool last summer, made little impact in his debut season, hampered by two lengthy muscle injuries. To cap a frustrating campaign, he was left out of England's World Cup squad by manager Thomas Tuchel.
