The good news in Dortmund does not stop. While the championship could become clearer at the end of the week, the blacks and yellows have already announced significant numbers for the coming season.

Mats Hummels will also wear the BVB shirt next season. The captain has extended his contract for a year, the club have just announced via Twitter. « Everyone knows how much fun I am having playing at Signal Iduna Park with our amazing fans. I did not make the decision lightly. It was a long deliberative process. Now, at the end of the season, I can say: I’m still in the mood for another year, » Hummels said in the press release.

After Marco Reus, who extended his contract at the end of April, he is the second Dortmund veteran to pledge allegiance to the club. Hummels has been back at Borussia since 2019 after being under contract with Bayern Munich. It remains to be seen how things will continue after the upcoming season.

« He’s a very, very important player for this team because he gives them a lot of hierarchy, leadership, » said Sebastian Kehl.
