Mats Hummels apparently has no future in Rome – and his farewell tour could become a cloudy scenario.
In the Europa League, Mats Hummels ended up on the pitch early – now the 2014 football champion should finally be over at AS Rome.
According to Corriere Dello Sport, the capital club does not want to extend the 36-year-old contract until June 30th.
“Hummels in the crisis: the farewell at the end of the season is certain,” it said in the Italian daily newspaper: “This is the end of a love that is never really bloomed. The club and Hummels will go separate paths without remorse. “
Report: Hummels threaten ten games on the bench
With his dismissal in the eleventh minute of the game in the return leg in the Europa League near Athletic Bilbao a few days ago, Hummels had initiated his team’s 1: 3 defeat, and the Italian media did not save afterwards.
Hummels himself apologized to the team and fans on social media, in training on Friday afternoon he was again addressing the team. “His path in Rome is over,” but also wrote the Gazetta Dello Sport , many fans have recently blamed him “a lifestyle as on vacation” in Rome.
The defender’s roller coaster ride continues. Ten games are still on the plan in Serie A, but according to Tuttosport , Hummels will “experience them on the bench”. A few weeks ago, coach Claudio Ranieri emphasized that Hummels was indispensable for him: “He is a monument.”
