Premier League
German veteran defender, Mats Hummels, has taken an unexpected turn in his career by joining AS Roma as a free agent, as reported by the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport. After finishing his second spell at Borussia Dortmund and being one of the top defenders in the last Champions League, Hummels found himself without a team following the close of the transfer market. However, this situation seems to have come to an end.
Roma, under the management of Danielle de Rossi, has reached an agreement to incorporate Hummels, thereby strengthening their defensive line after the departure of Chris Smalling. The 35-year-old German has signed a one-season contract with a salary of 2.5 million euros, with the possibility of extending his contract for another year if certain objectives are met.
He has flirted with many clubs in this summer transfer window
Throughout the summer, Hummels was linked to several clubs, including LaLiga teams like Real Sociedad, Mallorca, and even Real Madrid. Destinations like Bologna and Brighton were also rumored, though none of these options materialized.
With this addition, Roma reinforces its defense with an experienced center-back who has shown his quality in the most demanding scenarios of European football. It is expected that Hummels will arrive in the Italian capital in the coming hours to sign his contract and join the team, which aims to compete at the highest levels both in Italy and Europe.
