Borussia Dortmund Open To Mats Hummels Sale As Interest Spikes
Mats Hummels will be allowed to leave Borussia Dortmund if clubs are willing to meet the Bundesliga club's asking price.
Borussia Dortmund is open to a Mats Hummels exit but only if the price is right, according to chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke.
Hummels, 27, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Bundesliga giants, including to rivals Bayern Munich and numerous Premier League clubs.
Watzke said it would be wrong for Dortmund to deny the center back a move, but added there would be no hesitation if clubs are unwilling to meet their asking price.
"To forbid Hummels to leave would be small-minded," he said in the AUDI-Star-Talk on Monday. "We have to accept that someone playing for Dortmund for eight years and getting [close to] 28 starts to think about his situation.
"If the club isn't ready to pay a lot of money, he has a contract in Dortmund. And I am sure that he has no problem with continuing playing for Dortmund."
Hummels has impressed during another consistent campaign and is under contract until mid-2017 in Dortmund.
