Rumours are coming from Italy that could change the course of Real Madrid’s transfer market. According to reports The Sport Gazettethe white club have shown serious interest in Mats Hummels, the experienced 35-year-old German centre-back who is currently without a club after finishing his second spell at Borussia Dortmund. His last professional match was in the Champions League final at Wembley, where Madrid were crowned champions with a 2-0 victory.
The Sport Gazette reveals that Hummels was in advanced talks with Bologna to join Italian football next season. However, these negotiations have noticeably slowed down due to the possible intervention of Real Madrid. Throughout his career, Hummels has played successfully for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, proving that he still maintains a high level of performance despite his age.
Real Madrid’s interest in Hummels is due to the urgent need to strengthen their defence. The team currently only has three centre-backs available: Rüdiger, Militao and Vallejo. Vallejo is not in the coach’s plans and is looking for a new club; he will only remain in the squad if he does not find a new destination, although with few opportunities to play. In addition, Alaba is in the process of recovering from a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee and will not be able to play until at least November.
Bringing in Hummels could be the immediate solution to strengthen Real Madrid’s defence, bringing experience and stability to a defence that urgently needs reinforcements. The veteran status and leadership of the German centre-back would be valuable for the team in a season that looks challenging.
