Mats Hummels linked with possible return to Germany as Roma stint proves complicated

Mats Hummels was supposed to be Roma’s big move to strengthen their defense.

However, the former Borussia Dortmund defender has so far failed to convince Ivan Juric, who has repeatedly stated that the German is the natural replacement for Evan Ndicka, who is one of the few players who hasn’t missed a single minute this season.

And while in the capital, people often wonder why Hummels isn’t playing, in Germany, fans have been filled with regret over losing him.

An investigation conducted by Bild Zeitung revealed, in addition to the great affection of his supporters, that the Roma player could be useful to eight other Bundesliga teams.

The thirty-five-year-old’s story gained resonance after the defender showed up at the Ballon d’Or ceremony and his story has now reached Germany.

The German newspaper also listed the names of the 8 clubs that could be interested in bringing Hummels back home: Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg.

In addition, there are two other clubs in Germany’s second division: Hamburg and Hertha Berlin.

If there is no room for Hummels in Rome, in Germany they would be lining up to welcome him back.
