Rumor - FC Bologna waits for a decision from Mats Hummels
The Italian football first division team FC Bologna is still hoping for a signing of Mats Hummels. The former World Cup winner has an offer on the table, but according to sporting director Claudio Fenucci, he has asked for a little more thinking time. "We are waiting for an answer from Hummels and hope that it comes soon," said Fenucci at the presentation of new signing Thijs Dallinga. "He has taken some time to think carefully about it."
According to reports from several transfer experts, the Bologna officials had already arranged for flights and a medical check-up for Hummels before his request. "I find nothing strange about that. There are no deadlines," said Fenucci. "We have explained the project to him and hope that he accepts the offer. He is a great player who can help us not only on the pitch."
