Mats Hummels has made his decision after weeks of deliberation, turning down Bologna’s offer. The German defender expressed gratitude to the club’s management, but ultimately chose not to accept their proposal.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports how Bologna, undeterred by this setback, has swiftly shifted their focus to other defensive targets. The club remains strongly interested in Logan Costa from Toulouse, with ongoing discussions taking place even today.
In Italy, there is still a mild interest from Roma, although they have yet to submit a concrete offer for Hummels. Milan might also consider the experienced defender as an option, but only if they decide to sell another center-back from their current roster.
This development marks the end of Bologna’s pursuit of Hummels, who had been their primary defensive target for the summer transfer window. The club will now likely intensify their efforts to secure Logan Costa or explore other alternatives to strengthen their backline for the upcoming season.
Hummels’ decision leaves him still available on the free agent market, potentially attracting interest from other clubs across Europe as the transfer window progresses.
