Mats Hummels is on the verge of leaving Borussia Dortmund in the current summer transfer period at the end of his contract and no agreement has yet been reached on an extension.
The main obstacle to Hummels’ continuity within Dortmund was coach Edin Terzic due to the poor relationship between them, but the 41-year-old resigned from his position on Thursday.
Despite the expectations of many that Terzic’s departure will be in Hummels’ interest, the Dortmund administration is not satisfied with the player’s behavior in the past season and how he worked against his coach.
For this reason, the shared belief between the player and the club has become that this summer is the ideal time to dissolve the partnership between them and for the 35-year-old to leave for a new destination.
According to the famous journalist Fabrizio Romano, Hummels wants to continue within the European continent despite the presence of tempting offers for him from the Saudi League in particular.
The German defender is not very interested in the idea of moving to the Saudi League, regardless of the financial offers, and wants to participate in the Champions League next season.
It seems that the closest destination for Hummels is the Italian League, in light of the great interest he has received from AC Milan in the past hours.
Hummels is not the first German who does not favor the idea of joining the Saudi League, as Toni Kroos preceded him, but the difference is that the defender has sporting reasons, unlike the Real Madrid star, who believes that the Roshen League, with its large financial support, spoils football.
