According to the “Bild” newspaper, the mind games about a possible short comeback from Mats Hummels near Borussia Dortmund should also be of great interest in the former world champion. The 36-year-old is “enthusiastic about the BVB bosses of the alleged plans of the BVB bosses to commit him as a standby professional for the World Cup in summer,” the report says.
“He would probably also walk from Rome to Dortmund on foot to run again for Borussia,” the sheet continues. As the background, the continued great connection of the defense player and his former employer is mentioned, only a further short commitment for the black and yellow could therefore delay the communicated career end. Hummels had played for the district club from 2008 to 2016 and from 2019 to 2024. In view of the long-term failure of Nico Schlotterbeck, the Dortmunders should consider a short-term obligation by Hummels after the long-term failure of Nico Schlotterbeck. The central defender recently announced that he would end his career at AS Rome after this season.
It would be possible to return from Hummels to BVB in June because there is an additional transfer window for the participants of the club World Cup. From June 1st to June 10th, Borussia could therefore register new additions in advance to have it available in the tournament. The club World Cup with 32 clubs will take place in the USA from June 14 to July 13, BVB will deal with Fluminense from Rio de Janeiro on June 17th in New Jersey.
Hummels are under contract in Rome until the end of the season. Last week he announced his farewell to professional football. “I am struggling with the emotions. Now the moment is coming around that there is no footballer. After over 18 years and so many things that football gave me, I end my career this summer. I think if I see it all, I know even more how much this all way, this way meant to me and how extraordinary it was to be able to experience it,” said the central defender in a video.
BVB coach Niko Kovac, who already worked with Hummels at Bayern, said about the speculation before the Bundesliga guest game in Munich: “Mats is certainly an extraordinarily good footballer who has achieved a lot in his life. He also has a huge importance for BVB. I personally hear about it too.”
