According to Italian media outlet “Milan Sport,” while Bologna is engaging in heated discussions with Hummels, Real Madrid has expressed interest in entering the race.
Due to Calafiori’s imminent €45 million transfer to Arsenal, Bologna views Hummels as their top replacement target. It is understood that Bologna has offered Hummels a proposal of an annual salary of €2 million plus bonuses. However, this was rejected by the German player, as the former Borussia Dortmund defender is hoping for a contract worth €3 million per year.
A concurrent report from “Milan Sport” may come as a cold splash of water for Bologna. The publication claims that Real Madrid has developed an interest in Hummels, especially after Nacho’s free transfer to Saudi Arabia. Ancelotti might consider signing Hummels, which poses a threat to Bologna’s plans to bring him on board.
Last season, Hummels played 40 games for Borussia Dortmund, helping the team reach the UEFA Champions League final. Following the expiration of his contract this summer, Hummels left the club as a free agent, bringing to an end his 13-year tenure at Dortmund.
