Hummels in talks with La Liga club

Former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich defender Mats Hummels may continue his career in La Liga. 

According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Real Sociedad has made progress in negotiations for the transfer of the 35-year-old German. The Spanish club is awaiting the player's final decision, as he is their primary target for bolstering the center of defence. 

It has also been noted that Sociedad intends to acquire a forward in the near future. 

Borussia Dortmund announced on June 14 that Mats Hummels would leave the club following the expiry of his contract. The defender played for the "Black and Yellows" from 2008 to 2016 and then again from 2019 to 2024, amassing a total of 508 appearances for the club. During his time in Dortmund, Hummels won the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal twice, claimed the Supercup three times, and reached the UEFA Champions League final on two occasions.
