This one doesn't have to done by transfer deadline day, but I suspect there may be some panicking teams after the deadline adding to the competition.

Looks a done deal to Real Sociedad.
Good news IMO.
Whether we do or don’t have a “no dickheads” policy he would surely have challenged it.

Great player but publicly slagged off Dortmund coach last season. It was suggested that this "exuberance" was why he was left out of Germany squad too.

Sounds like we dodged a bullet temperamentally speaking and realistically he is unlikely to come here if the alternative is a year or a couple of years in San Sebastian playing relaxed tactical football in La Liga

As good a player as he might be, it wasn’t really the profile of player I assumed we’d go for at centre back. We need someone with a bit of pace!

Rumors are that he might hang up his boots:


(based on Google translate, take with a grain of salt)

What's more, everything seems to indicate that, if nothing unforeseen arises, he is going to hang up his boots at 35 years old.
Hummels has had offers, several of them from the Champions League, teams from the League, Calcio, the Premier and the Bundesliga.

I hope to be proved wrong, but I don't think he will end up here. If he was going to sign for us I think he would have done by now.

I saw an article in 442 that Matip is still not signed for anyone - if we needed an experienced centre back who knows the EPL would he not be better - he’s younger knows the league (the other players it mentioned as frees were Hummel, Rabiot, Depay and Martial)
