His arrival in September as a free agent to give more robustness to a defense that appeared to be struggling. And so Roma, from the zero-parameter market, has fished out the best possible: Mats Hummels, fresh from being a Champions League finalist with Borussia Dortmund.
In short, not exactly the last of the newbies for the Giallorossi, with the Friedkins also signing Hermoso, formerly of Atletico Madrid, and courted a whole summer by Napoli and Juve without then sinking the punch. Two defenders with proven experience, two players who certainly needed no introduction.
The ending of the story, however, is known to all. Hermoso, the one most used of the two in the first part of the season, flew to Bayer Leverkusen in January. Hummels, on the other hand, had to endure repeated benches with Juric while with Ranieri he was employed intermittently while always responding when called upon.
Hummels e l’annuncio del ritiro: la nuova situazione
Last April 5, the announcement of his retirement from playing soccer: an extraordinary journey, as German called it, that will end with the Roma jersey on, his last in a truly glorious career.

Hummels, then, as a professional footballer will wear the Roma jersey for the last time probably on the final catwalk of the 38th day, the epilogue of a championship that Roma has turned into a compelling one, with a fight for fourth place unhoped for. In today’s match itself, he relaunched his bid strongly by beating Inter at home with a clear and convincing display.
Hummels remained on the bench for the entire match as has been the case for weeks now. It certainly seems that the German, therefore, will have his last minutes as a player in the Giallorossi shirt but his future may not be far from the capital and Roma.
Nuovo ruolo per Hummels: sarà ancora a Roma
According to what our editorial staff has gathered, in fact, the management in and around Trigoria is considering a possible position within the club’s management cadre. The defender will fly to Germany to settle some family situations, but it certainly seems that a representative role is ready for Hummels.
In short, the Friedkins after giving a senior advisor role to Claudio Ranieri who will leave the bench in the summer to sit behind a desk, are now ready to internationalize the roster even more with an experienced player as is the German who has over 20 years of career behind him.
