Dumfries has been included in Real Madrid's matchday squad for their first game of the season, and is set to make his debut against Espanyol on Saturday. The 27-year-old was officially presented at the club on Friday, where he signed his contract in the boardroom and posed for photos with president Florentino Pérez and some of the club's Champions League trophies.
As part of his presentation, Dumfries received a replica of the stadium, a watch, and a shirt with his name and number on it. He will wear the number 24 on his back for the upcoming season. Dumfries has already been involved in Real Madrid's pre-season training and has played in several friendly matches.
Real Madrid has made significant investments in their squad this summer, signing several new players including Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konaté, Yan Diomande, and Marc Cucurella. The club is looking to improve their performance after a disappointing two seasons without any major trophies.
Dumfries' transfer was announced 47 days ago, but his official presentation was delayed until now. He will now be part of José Mourinho's squad for the upcoming game against Espanyol, where he will compete with other new signings and established players for a starting spot.
