Borussia Dortmund leading central defender Mats Hummels revealed he is thinking about his future, either at Borussia Dortmund or at another club. There has been speculation regarding interest for Hummels from almost every big club in Europe, including Barcelona, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, but there haven't been any official transfer bids yet.
"It's a very difficult decision, and when I finally make it people will understand how hard it is for me," Hummels said. "I've set a date, but I'm keeping it to myself. It's been taking me at least half an hour extra to fall asleep for several weeks now because this is such a big issue for me."
Hummels has played for Dortmund for more than seven years as he joined them from current Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. First he spent a season on loan at Dortmund and then he signed a permanent deal under head coach Jurgen Klopp in 2009. Hermann Hummels, the player's father and agent, says his son could even return to Bayern Munich this summer. "Mats is facing a tremendously important decision in his career, in his life," Hummels senior said. "Dortmund is back among the top clubs in Europe, so the decision is so hard for him. If he should leave Dortmund, then he goes to one of the five or six top clubs. And to these clubs one is of course FC Bayern."
Hummels still has one year left on his contract with Borussia Dormund, but if he fails to reach an agreement for an extension the club will surely try to sell him to the highest bidder this summer.

I didn't saw Bayern in that rumor list and it's probably the most probable destination for Hummels to continue his career. Anyway is looking like he's going to leave the club and maybe rightly so after so many years with Dortmund he'll have to chance at least to make some more money in some of the Europe's top teams.

Looks like evrything is finished and confirmed and Hummels will play for Bayern next year. Thats a big loss foe Dortmund espacially if Subotic will be transfered to Liverpool.

But fans have to understand Hummels becouse his youth career started in Bayern so he is probably a huge fan of Bayern and also Dortmund will earn some money withhim not like with Gotze and Lewandovski.

It seems like another Borussias star player will be going into their rivals club Bayern Munich, according to todays Bild headlines. And we all know that Bild doesn't make mistakes, doesn't do rumors. They were right about Gotze, Levandowski and they are probably right about this one aswell. I feel sad for Bundesliga fans...

They were right about Gotze, Levandowski and they are probably right about this one aswell. I feel sad for Bundesliga fans myself included, since it seems like in near future nobody wouldn't be able to stand Bayern's power and money.

I agree with Alex about the Hummels transfer. All high-quality German players must play at Bayern Munich. Bayern is definitely the biggest club in Germany and for all players are the satisfaction of playing for Bayern. Germany national squad mainly consists of players from Bayern Munich.

If he already thinking about the transfer, I hope he will not go to Munich. Barcelona desperately needs such a defender like a Mats, but I support the new cooperation between him and Jürgen Klopp in Liverpool. I'd love to win the Europe League, and directly go to the Champions League next year, in that case, it would be...

Barcelona desperately needs such a defender like a Mats, but I support the new cooperation between him and Jürgen Klopp in Liverpool. I'd love to win the Europe League, and directly go to the Champions League next year, in that case, it would be perfectly for Mats. I'm sure he would have earned a lot of respect from the Borussia fans, as opposed to moving to Munich,where he have been a hate figure. Hard decision.

Mats Hummels is definitely one of the best stoppers in the world.He has passed football academy of Bayern Munich,so i my opinion Bavarians are favorites to grab him,especially when we know that Mario Goetze is transfer target for Borussia Dortmund.There is possibility of exchange deal.On the other side,Joachim Watzke said...
