Hummels-Release? Zorc: “Sporting Added Value”

Sports Director Michael Zorc of Vice-Champion Borussia Dortmund sees the transfer of up to 38 million for Mats Hummels as a worthwhile investment. We know we’re taking a lot of money into our hands. We believe that with Mats we get a clear sporting added value,” said Zorc in an interview with the Bild newspaper.

According to Zorc, the age of the 30 year old central defender hired by master Bayern Munich was an argument for the recall action instead of an obstacle: “The mixture of youth and experience in the team must be right.

After the Westfalen’s fourth major purchase for the coming season, Zorc announced a shift in the focus of activities for the remaining summer break to the reduction of management.

“We feel very comfortable with the squad, but keep our eyes open in the event that there is still room for improvement. However, something will certainly happen on the tax side,” said Zorc.
