Mats Hummels, the accomplished German defender, has recently become a free agent after parting ways with Borussia Dortmund. His impressive career, which includes multiple Bundesliga titles, German Cups, and international success with Germany, has made him an attractive prospect for several clubs.
Calciomercato report how while Hummels has expressed interest in playing in Serie A, initial discussions with Milan and Juventus did not progress beyond preliminary talks. Roma showed more serious interest, engaging in detailed conversations with the player’s representatives. However, negotiations stalled due to Hummels’ financial demands, and the Roman club has since cooled their interest in the veteran defender.
In an unexpected turn of events, Bologna has emerged as a potential destination for Hummels. The club, preparing for their Champions League campaign, is looking to add quality and experience to their squad. Bologna’s sporting director, Giovanni Sartori, is reportedly keen on securing Hummels’ services.
Bologna’s interest in Hummels appears to be more than just speculation. The club is planning to finalize the transfer of Calafiori from Arsenal before making a concerted effort to sign the German defender. Importantly, Hummels has shown clear signs of openness to negotiating with the Italian club.
This development comes after Hummels reportedly turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and Ajax, indicating his desire for a new challenge in a top-tier league. His potential move to Bologna could provide the Serie A club with valuable experience as they prepare for their European campaign.
