Premier League
The FIFA Club World Cup, which will be held for the first time with 32 teams from June 14 to July 13 in the United States, is generating unexpected movements in the market. With the start of the transfer period advanced to the first days of June, some clubs are already working to strengthen their squads for the big summer tournament. One of them is Borussia Dortmund, which is looking to shore up its defense with a very familiar face: Mats Hummels.
Now considering retirement
The German defender, who recently announced his retirement after finishing his spell at Roma, could reverse his decision. The Bundesliga club has contacted him with the intention of convincing him to don the yellow shirt once again for one more month. Hummels, who had called time on his career after an inconsistent campaign in Italy, is reportedly considering accepting this offer as a final touch to his trajectory.
At 36 years old, the center-back has extensive experience at Dortmund, having played over 500 matches over twelve and a half seasons. His potential return not only has sentimental value but also addresses the team's need, given weaknesses in defense. Drawn into Group F of the World Cup alongside Fluminense, Ulsan HD, and Mamelodi Sundowns, the German side sees Hummels as a key piece to compete with assurance. Perhaps, the story is not over yet.
