During the off-season, coach Niko Kovač, who secured his position in the coaching chair of the Munich team "Bayern", spoke about defender Mats Hummels leaving the club.
The 30-year-old German decided to return to Dortmund's "Borussia", which did not spare 38 million euros for the veteran.
"Mats did a great job, especially in the second part of the season. As the president of Bayern mentioned, at the end of the season, Hummels approached us and asked what his status would be in the club next autumn.
Niklas Sule has proven himself excellently, he is a starting lineup player and in the German national team, and Lucas Hernandez, whom we bought, was also assigned a place in the central defender position.
This did not mean anything. Competition among themselves means that the best player will have the right to play.
Unfortunately, Mats wanted to avoid that. We agreed with the player's thoughts and ultimately he ended up at "Borussia," - clarified N. Kovačas.
