AS Roma reach agreement with Mats Hummels

According to Fabrizio Romano, AS Roma have reached an agreement with former Borussia Dortmund centre-back Mats Hummels for a one-year contract until June 2025.

Over the course of the summer, there have been a number of high-profile Bundesliga transfer sagas.

Whether it be Alphonso Davies’ reported move to join Real Madrid or Jonathan Tah’s possible exit from Bayer Leverkusen in order to sign for Bayern Munich, it has undoubtedly not been a lacklustre transfer window from a Bundesliga perspective.

However, Hummels’ transfer saga appears to now be the most well-documented.

Many top European sides have attempted to court the German defender this summer, with Brighton & Hove Albion, Bologna, and Real Sociedad coming the closest to securing the 35-year-old’s signature.

Nevertheless, earlier this week, Roma were in pole position to sign the 2014 World Cup winner.

Despite this, as what has become familiar with any Hummels transfer link over the past three months, a deal looked set to collapse.

Regardless, with the Serie A outfit in need of defensive reinforcement, they have reopened negotiations with the 35-year-old, and a medical has been booked for later today.

As stated in the report, after months of speculation surrounding Hummels’ future, it is believed that the defender will finally have a new home.
