Roma’s Hummels Move Stalled Due to Smalling’s Stance: Current Situation and Future Possibilities

The latest on Roma’s transfer moves in defence, with negotiations stalled for Mats Hummels.

According to Il Tempo, the potential arrival of Mats Hummels at Roma on a free transfer is still on hold.

Before closing the deal for the German defender, the Giallorossi need to settle other matters first.

Roma are reportedly in discussions to finalise departures from their current squad.

A member of the Roma management revealed, “We have to offload a few players before we can make any decisive moves for Hummels,” speaking to Il Tempo.

This has created a bottleneck, slowing down progress on bringing Hummels to Serie A.

Despite the stalled negotiations, there remains optimism within the club to eventually secure the experienced defender’s signature.

“We are confident that we can sort out these hurdles and focus on strengthening our defence,” a club insider mentioned to Il Tempo.

As it stands, the situation around Hummels remains in flux, with the Giallorossi waiting to green-light the next steps.
