Barcelona open talks over summer move for Mats Hummels

Barcelona will reportedly make a move for Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels next summer, according to German newspaper Bild.

The 24-year-old is considered as one of the best centre-backs in Europe, and has been linked with a switch away from the Bundesliga outfit since the summer transfer window.

The Bild reports that Barcelona will be granted permission to open talks with the talented German International over a move to Camp Nou next summer, should Dortmund receive a suitable transfer fee.

Real Madrid and Manchester United are also monitoring the player.
