Ghisolfi smelled the blow and is in contact with the player’s entourage. The 3.7 million salary per season is not an insurmountable obstacle
Who’s in charge on defense? Along the minefield path that leads to the top of the table in Serie A and the Champions League, from which Roma have been missing since the 2018-19 season, a general who can lead the troops from the back is more necessary than ever, writes Alessio D’Urso on La Gazzetta dello Sport. And the high-ranking name that has been circulating for weeks, on which sporting director Florent Ghisolfi has also focused his attention, is Mats Hummels, 35 years old, defender whose contract is expiring with Borussia Dortmund, for which he has played his whole life. That is 367 Bundesliga matches and also the last one Champions League final against Real Madrid (named in the UEFA team of the season), after having played three seasons as a protagonist at Bayern Munich between 2016 and 2019. Just yesterday the expert central defender greeted the Borussia fans (with whom in the last season, as proof of the integrity, he played 25 matches in the league, 13 in the Champions League and 2 in the German Cup) with affection and gratitude, closing a long football phase to open another in Europe – where he wants to remain – at high levels, by virtue of his boundless experience also with Germany with 78 appearances and 5 goals. Ghisolfi smelled the blow and is in contact with the player’s entourage. The salary of 3.7 million per season does not constitute an insurmountable obstacle. Also because the defender, who would arrive on a free transfer, according to rumors would still be willing to lower the salary for a two-year deal with the option for a third season.
