Beyond reinforcing their attack, Roma are also working on strengthening their defensive department and are targeting Mats Hummels. The former Borussia Dortmund center-back could be more than just an idea for the Giallorossi as the German defender wants to remain in Europe, primarily to stay as close as possible to his son, who resides in Munich.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Hummels has reportedly turned down offers from clubs in the United Arab Emirates and the United States. This makes him an affordable possibility for Roma.
Hummels is not only on Roma’s radar; Mallorca is also interested in the player. It remains to be seen which decision the defender will make. Hummels represents a low-cost defensive option for Roma, one that would bring a wealth of experience to their backline.
The German international is a seasoned defender who has won numerous titles throughout his illustrious career. He has won two Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund and six German Super Cups. Additionally, Hummels was part of the German national team that triumphed at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
At 34 years old, Hummels could provide valuable leadership and mentorship to Roma’s defensive unit, complementing the team’s existing talents with his vast experience at the highest levels of club and international football.
