Mats Hummels will leave Borussia Dortmund as a free agent this summer and several teams are reportedly interested.

Roma have made contact with the representatives of veteran center-back Mats Hummels, according to reports from Italy.

The 2014 World Cup winner and recent Champions League finalist will leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of June when his contract expires.

Hummels to AS Roma?

Giallorossi director Florent Ghisolfi has been in talks with Hummels' entourage to explore a potential summer move to Rome, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport and TMW.

Despite Hummels' reported €3.7m annual salary in Germany, his wages aren't seen as a significant obstacle since he'll be available on a free transfer.

In fact, Roma may be able to negotiate a lower salary if they offer a two-year contract with an optional additional year.

Evan Ndicka and Gianluca Mancini are first-choice for manager Danielle De Rossi, but Hummels certainly adds experience and depth in a vital area.
