La Liga
Mats Hummels has officially signed with Roma, joining the Italian club as a free agent after his departure from Borussia Dortmund at the end of last season. The experienced German defender, aged 35, arrived in the Italian capital on Wednesday, September 4, to undergo his medical examination and put pen to paper on a one-year contract with the Serie A team.
Interest in Hummels had been significant in the summer market, with Real Sociedad in advanced talks for his acquisition. However, the central's destiny has been sealed in Rome, where he will wear the number 15, previously worn during his time with Dortmund. Hummels' arrival adds to an active transfer window for Roma, having already secured players like Artem Dovbyk, Matías Soulé, Enzo Le Fee, Angelino, and Mathew Ryan.
A Luxurious Addition for Roma
Hummels' track record in German football is extensive and successful. Throughout his career, he has won five Bundesliga titles, split between two stints at Borussia Dortmund and another at Bayern Munich. He has amassed 508 appearances with Dortmund and was instrumental in the back-to-back league championships in 2011 and 2012 under Jürgen Klopp's guidance. His return to Bayern in 2016 allowed him to claim three more consecutive league titles.
In addition to his club success, Hummels has had a notable international career, playing 70 matches for the German national team and being part of the squad that won the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. With his move to Roma, the veteran defender aims to contribute his experience and quality to a team that has shown ambition in the transfer market.
