Roma’s team reconstruction is finally finished! The veteran Mats Hummels, who didn’t want to put an end to his career after the departure from Dortmund, has arrived at Stadio Olimpico, up for one of the biggest challenges – playing for the Giallorossi.First day as a Giallorossi player! 🟡🔴#ASRoma pic.twitter.com/4wC9qiSgH8— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) September 4, 2024 Although he’ll soon celebrate his 36th birthday, Hummels performs as if he was ten years younger. After all, the previous season proves it. Namely, he made 40 appearances for Borussia in all competitions and spent nearly 3.000 minutes on the pitch. In total, the defender has played over 600 matches for the two German giants, Dortmund and Bayern Munich, plus 78 more games for the German national team.Former Roma and Man United defender set to move to Saudi ArabiaHummels – who picked the #15 at Roma – is the fourth defender that joined the club after Mario Hermoso, Saud Abdulhamid, and Samuel Dahl. In the recently over transfer window, the Giallorossi mainly focused on getting rid of the players with vast salaries. It didn’t work with Paolo Dybala, but it did with the English duo – Chris Smalling and Tammy Abraham. The defenders, Leonardo Spinazzola and Rick Karsdorp, as well as the custodian Rui Patricio, left the club as free agents, while the 24-year-old Marash Kumbulla joined the Spanish side Espanyol on loan. After seven years and Antonio Rudiger, the Giallorossi will once again have a centre-back from Germany.##NAJAVA_MECA_8316322##
