World class Newcastle United target ‘HAS BEEN RELEASED’ by Bundesliga giants!

Long-standing Newcastle United target Mats Hummels has been released by Borussia Dortmund.

The defender helped the German giants reach the Champions League final, which they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid – but will now be a free agent this summer after the club allowed him to depart the side.

This follows after Edin Terzic headed out of the exit door after the Dortmund boss resigned over a bust-up between the pair, and the news will give Man United the chance to get a transfer deal done.

Eddie Howe is seeking to improve his squad this transfer window and is hoping to get some backing from the Newcastle board – despite the shocking Premier League season the club has just had.

Hummels is one of the most experienced defenders in the Bundesliga and it has come as a massive surprise to see that he is now a free agent after Dortmund released him.

He may not be in his prime – but he showed last season that he is still able to keep pace with even the best of attackers – so if Eddie Howe is looking to add some experience and leadership to the side, Hummels could be his guy.

Many doubted that Thiago Silva would be able to play in the Premier League because of his age – but top defenders know how to play the game and Hummels could certainly teach that Newcastle  back-line a thing or two.

And the fact he could be signed on a free is a massive bonus – not too much money will have to get spent.
