Chivu laments Dumfries departure as Inter lose to Real

Cristian Chivu says Internazionale will lose right-back Denzel Dumfries to Real Madrid for the 2025‑26 season. Chivu expressed disappointment that the club cannot retain the Dutch international.

Dumfries, a member of the Netherlands national team, confirmed his move to the Spanish giants. The transfer will take effect next season, ending his spell at Internazionale.

Chivu said Internazionale could not prevent the transfer. Internazionale, Italy's top‑flight club, was the side referenced.

Dumfries’s exit leaves Internazionale without his services for the upcoming campaign. Real Madrid will add the defender to their squad for the 2025‑26 season.
