Mats Hummels will stay with Borussia Dortmund. After Marco Reus, BVB has now announced its next routine execution. The 2014 World Champion extended by one year.
Title aspirant Borussia Dortmund is planning to continue with Mats Hummels in the Bundesliga. The 2014 world champion has extended his contract with BVB, which expires at the end of the season, by another year until June 30, 2024, the club announced.
The 34-year-old defender played for BVB from 2008 to 2016 and returned in 2019 after three years at his youth club FC Bayern Munich. “I am very happy that Mats Hummels is staying at Borussia Dortmund for another year. He identifies very much with our club. BVB and Mats simply belong together,” explained Borussia Dortmund’s managing director Hans-Joachim Watzke.
“I’m still in the mood”
“Everyone knows how much fun I have playing at Signal Iduna Park with our fantastic fans. I didn’t take the decision lightly. It was a long process of deliberation. Now, at the end of the season, I can say: I have still really up for another year”, Hummels is quoted as saying in the club’s announcement.
With Hummels, BVB will have another veteran. A month ago, the club also extended the contract of 33-year-old Marco Reus by a year until 2024. While Reus is currently not a regular player, Hummels was one of the starting eleven in the past games in which BVB climbed to first place in the title fight.
Hummels has played in 29 Bundesliga games this season, plus four games each in the DFB Cup and the Champions League. “He is a very, very important player for this team because he gives it a lot from the hierarchy, from leadership,” said BVB sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
