Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078 radar – Bundesliga news
Reports suggest that highly rated Borussia Dortmund defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767, has attracted interest from top European clubs with his performances this season at Signal Iduna Park. Barcelona FC are now the latest outfit to show keen interest in signing the
defender.
The 22-year-old centre back has been in colossal form this season and his good performances have not gone unnoticed at Camp Nou. The young defender has caught the attention of UEFA Champions League hopefuls with superb performances and it seems that Borussia
Dortmund will have a fight on their hands to retain the youngster.
Hummels has turned into a key player in the Borussians back-line since his arrival from Bayern Munich in 2008/09 season. The 22-year-old centre-back was initially farmed out to Borussia Dortmund. However, Die Borussen management offered a permanent contract
to the young defender at the end of the 2008/09 season after his impressive performances during the loan spell. Since then, Hummels has become an integral part of the Bundesliga side.
The Catalan powerhouse had to improvise their back-line after injuries to their key defenders in recent weeks. Josep Guardiola, the Barca manager, had to deploy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Busquets-c33048 at the back in the recent weeks. Guardiola was pleased
to see his improvised back-line perform admirably, but the tactician is keen to avoid such measures. The former Barcelona player is looking to add more depth to the defensive aspect of his squad.
La Liga giants would have to face stiff competition from Serie A giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan, as the Nerazzurri are also eager to take land the young defender in the upcoming summer transfer window. It has been further reported that several English Premier League
clubs are also interested in acquiring Hummels.
The versatile young centre-back will not be available on cheap, as he recently signed a contract extension with the newly crowned Bundesliga champions that will keep him at the Signal Iduna Park until the summer of 2014. Moreover, a host of top European
clubs are interested in signing the 22-year-old defender which might make it even more difficult for Barca to sign him on a bargain price.
