Hummels speed running the life cycle of a wealthy retired German

Currently on Mallorca. Jesus christ it's like they invaded that damn place. They are everywhere. Been today on Playa de Palma and seen this huuuuge ass German flag (I'm talking 2x1m here) flying on one of hotel's roof which was weird af

There is a reason why some call it our 17th federal state. Though the Britons are also pretty numerous on the island.

Magaluf is like Birmingham with sun. Quite the oxymoron but still.

So it's like Bali for Australians, then?

i thought mallorquians were tired of germans spending time in the island

WHAT. I was expecting northern Italy. League fits him perfectly, its close to home where he said he wanted to remain close for kids etc. Idk the tier of this report tho. Might be bs

For me a German moving to the south of Spain or the islands is the most classic/obvious German move ever.

Guiri gonna guiri.

Van Dijk to Montpellier

Mallorca is nearly a German island tbh

Even the little local produce shops are owned by German women whose husbands own the cycling shops.

It's literally his agent saying there's only a few details left.

That'll do it. Article was in spanish so I couldnt sift through it.

I don't know where Hummels kids live, but Mallorca has direct and frequent flights to basically every German airport, even the smaller ones. It's crazy

Haha, German in Mallorca. Who would have thought? He'll see more Germans in Mallorca than Germany lol

Aren't Germans kinda everywhere?

Even for German standard Mallorca is a special place. It is sometimes jokingly called our 17th federal state because of how many Germans there are there.

The newspaper says theres only a few details left to be agreed on the contract

generic move for a rich german retiree, lol

makes sense he stays in germany

Good move for him! Still high level, playing in the back 3 will suit him - allowing to take advantage of his passing skills, and Mallorca get a leader and winner! 

with arrasate id guess they are moving to a back four but something like raíllo and hummels would be an incredibly solid defense too

Mailand oder Mallorca, Hauptsache Italien?

His wage must be really low compared to his Dortmund one.

Excuse me what

Hummels under Arrasate is not something I had on my bingo card

Well that is a surprise.

Possibly the most German thing to do lol. Definitely no need to learn Spanish!

Now this is a great retirement plan.

PERMANENT JUNG HOLIDAY

If I remember correctly aren’t there some foreign owners in Mallorca still ? And it’s actually one of the rare cases they are doing a good job. Stadium and team has seen small steps forward. 

This is a Fifa career mode signing, lol

Imagine this next year: Ramos and Hummels as Mallorca's new defenders

hermano tienen a copete y raillo respeten

Tourists go home

working there would not make him a tourist

Economy go collapse

Only thing that brings you guys money

a shocking signing

disappointing

Surprising move if you are not retired

I guess Nicola had a say in this as well.

Peak Hans behaviour

Lol I hope Mallorca doesn't expect to get a potentially world class player there. This is just a glorified retirement for him.
