LVG has already held talks with star, now Man United want to sign him

With a contract running out in June 2017, SportBild are obsessed with Mats Hummels’ future at Borussia

Dortmund and had another update on Thursday, having spoken to his agent and dad.

Hermann Hummels explained his son was facing an extremely important decision in his life, and with Dortmund being one of the top clubs in Europe again, it wasn’t an easy one.

Stating if he were to leave, he would only be able to join one of five or six clubs to make a step in the right direction, Hummels Sr. included Bayern Munich in the discussions.

The German centre-back most certainly wouldn’t be the first footballer to make the leap from Dortmund to Bayern Munich in recent years, following in the footsteps of Mario Götze and Robert Lewandowski, and it wouldn’t be his first time there either.

Hummels, despite spending the past seven years of his life at Dortmund, actually started his career at Bayern Munich, moving to der BVB in 2009 following a loan spell there, well before they became a threat to the Bavarians.

SportBild report Bayern Munich tried to keep him when Louis van Gaal took over, and talks took place over a deal, with the Dutchman keen to sort one out.

Now linked with a move to Manchester United, it shouldn’t be surprising to see the Dutch manager chasing a player he missed the opportunity to work with seven years ago, and Hummels would be the ideal candidate to strengthen an imbalanced Red Devil defence.

The German magazine mention Louis Van Gaal’s side and Chelsea as those from the Premier League wanting to sign Hummels, and we’re as intrigued as you to find out what the player’s decision will be.
