Transfer update: Hummels changes to Rome, Sancho to Chelsea!

The transfer activities in German football are in full swing, and a big name attracts attention: Mats Hummels. The 35-year-old defender, who once won the World Cup with the German national team, will probably switch to AS Rome. This emerges from reports from the Corriere Dello Sport, which indicate that Hummels will sign a one -year contract with the Italian club that contains an automatic extension option for another season. The financial conditions of the transfer include a salary of 2.5 million euros and possible bonuses, which makes it one of the central topics in the current transfer period. Hummels will be expected in Rome in the coming days to carry out the mandatory medical check.

The change of the best defenseator of the 2014 World Cup does not come as a surprise, since Hummels has been without a club since summer after his contract has expired at Borussia Dortmund. A previously desired transfer to FC Bologna did not come about despite an offer, as well as considerations for switching to the English Premier League or the Spanish La Liga.

again in focus: Jadon Sancho

Apart from Hummels, there are other exciting developments in football. Another prominent face, Jadon Sancho, has returned to the spotlight by borrowing from FC Manchester United to Chelsea FC. The 24-year-old striker had recently had a time at Dortmund and will now wear the colors of the Londoners for a season. Manchester United confirmed the deal late Friday evening, with the official announcement only on Saturday. The club wishes Sancho good luck for the coming season and puts great hopes in his previous success.

A little below the radar also the transfer from Bradley Ibrahim, a 19-year-old German midfielder, who was awarded to Crawley Town to the third English league for the rest of the season. Ibrahim, who only came to Hertha in the last transfer window from the U21 from Arsenal London, sees the loan as a valuable way to collect more game practice.

Another remarkable transfer is that of Edimilson Fernandes, which was borrowed from FSV Mainz 05 to Stade Brest to French Ligue 1. The 26-year-old wants to get more playing time through the loan. Sports board member Christian Heidel confirmed that Fernandes asked for this change. The player had previously been signed by West Ham United and is now represents another component in the Bundesliga team's movement game.

The transfer period also influenced FC Augsburg. The association had Arne Engels moved to Celtic to Celtic and at the same time strengthened with Alexis Claude-Maurice. The departure of the 20-year-old Belgian could bring in Augsburg up to 13 million euros and is in the context of the increased efforts of the association to develop talented players and at the same time act economically.

The transfers of the past few days is also the change from Manu Kone from Borussia Mönchengladbach to AS Rome, for which the German Bundesliga club is to receive a sum of 20 million euros. The 23-year-old is considered a promising talent and was recently nominated for the French national team. This not only illustrates the targeted goal for Gladbach to develop players, but also the increasing interest of international clubs in German talents.

The transfer market has turned out to be an opportunity for many players this season to revitalize their career or to plunge into new challenges. With a variety of changes and borrowing, it remains exciting how the teams prepare for the 2023/24 football season and whether some of these players can lead their new clubs to great success.
