He stays. The legendary defender has changed his mind about ending his career

Experienced Borussia Dortmund center-back Mats Hummels has decided against retiring after the conclusion of the current season.

According to Bild, the 35-year-old player will soon extend his contract with Borussia Dortmund. In recent weeks, there have been several positive meetings between him and the club's sporting director, Sebastian Kehl.
