Mats Hummels Underwent Medical for Premier League Side Before Move Fell Through

Mats Hummels has undergone a medical for a Premier League side but a move failed to materialize, according to reports.

Move on the Cards

The Borussia Dortmund defender was expected to join the unnamed club this summer after reportedly agreeing personal terms and undergoing a medical.

However, the deal has since fallen through, with Dortmund believed to be demanding a higher transfer fee than the Premier League club was willing to pay.

Unfortunate Turn of Events

“It’s an unfortunate turn of events,” said a source close to Hummels. “Mats was excited about the move and had already said goodbye to his teammates.

“But Dortmund’s asking price was simply too high, and the Premier League club was not prepared to meet it.”

Background

Hummels, 33, has been with Dortmund since 2019, having previously played for Bayern Munich and the German national team.

He is considered one of the best defenders in the world and has won numerous trophies throughout his career, including the Bundesliga and FIFA World Cup.

Future Uncertain

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Hummels after this failed transfer.

He could still leave Dortmund before the end of the transfer window, but it seems more likely that he will stay at the club for at least another season.

However, the 33-year-old is entering the twilight of his career, and it is possible that he will retire before too long.
