BVB strengthened itself on the transfer market in the summer. In particular, the national team newcomers Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck are now heating up the competition in the black and yellow defensive. That’s why Mats Hummels hits it hard.
Everything for the BVB future: While the BVB stars were relaxing on vacation, BVB central defender Mats Hummels was toiling away in special training sessions in the English Garden in Munich. This is reported by the “Bild” newspaper. The reason: Dortmund’s newcomers Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck are now fierce competition for the well-deserved chief of defense – the 33-year-old has to worry about his starting eleven.
Short, compact, clear
Is it all or nothing for Hummels in preparation? But not only the supposed loss of the starting eleven is driving the world champion: With an annual salary of around ten million euros, the defense chief is one of the top earners at Borsigplatz. However, if Hummels found himself on the bench at the start of the season, he would not be able to extend his contract, which expires next year, on the same terms.
Competition at BVB: Sports director Sebastian Kehl also appreciates Hummels’ commitment during the summer break: “Mats came back from vacation in top shape and ready to take on the competition. We’re happy with the situation in central defence.”
