The German defender, who currently plays for the Serie A football club "Roma", has published a post on social networks where he announced his intention to end his career at the end of this season.

UNN reports with reference to aussenrist15 and GOAL.

The central defender of "Roma", world champion as part of the German national team in 2014 in Rio de Janeiro, Mats Hummels announced on his Instagram profile in a very short message that he is ending his active football career after this season.

The 36-year-old athlete stated:

"I am now struggling with emotions. Now comes the moment that no football player can avoid. After more than 18 years with many things that football has given me, I am ending my career in the summer"

Reference

Hummels made his professional debut for Bayern Munich. During his time at the German football club (Bayern is one of the five clubs that have won all three major UEFA club tournaments, and the only German club to have done so), Hummels became one of the best central defenders in Europe from 2008 to 2016.

In the summer of 2016, he returned to Munich for another three years, after which he signed a five-year contract with Borussia Dortmund. 

Addition

Having joined Roma in the summer transfer window of 2024, having been signed on a free transfer, as he was without a team, Hummels has had a difficult season, consisting of benches and empty passes (first of all, the straight red card he received against Bilbao in the Europa League)
