After 13 years wearing the black and yellow uniform, Matt Hummels will part ways with Dortmund this summer and he will leave as a free agent. It's sad to see that his loyalty with Dortmund has ended and he has gone as a club legend. Even though he went back and forth from Dortmund to Bayern Munich and back again to Dortmund, he still became an important part of Dortmund. I didn't expect one of the best center backs of this generation to be gone.
But it is true that he is already 35 years old and therefore regeneration is really needed for the Dortmund squad. Maybe after this Dortmund will immediately look for a replacement in the summer and I hope they make the right recruitment for their new center back candidate. It's a shame that at the end of his career with Dortmund he appeared impressive, especially when he was able to take Dortmund to the Champions League final and in my opinion, defenders of his age are very rarely consistent.

With that reason, I don't think there's anything wrong with Dortmund not extending his contract and not making Mats Hummels a legend. But even so, it is certainly worthy of Mats Hummels to get great appreciation too, because in his old age at least Mats Hummels can still make a big contribution to the team. But, with Mats Hummels' contract not being renewed at this moment, I wonder if there are still teams that will sign Mats Hummels for next season, or maybe, Mats Hummels will soon choose to retire.
I'm shocked that Borussia Dortmund has not offered Mats Hummels a new contract, even though it is a one-year contract. Mats Hummels delivered a good performance against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League finals. Because of Mats Hummels, Real Madrid could not score so many goals against Borussia Dortmund. From what Mats Hummels displayed against Real Madrid, he still has a lot of things to offer as a defender. If it is certain that Borussia Dortmund wants to part ways with Mats Hummels this season, he will get a new contract with another club since he is on a free transfer.
