Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed that Mats Hummels is considering a return to the Bavarian club next season.

The Borussia Dortmund defender is currently considering his future amid reported interest from Bayern, and Rummenigge said yesterday that there is a real possibility of the 27-year-old coming back to the German champions, who he left, initially on loan, in 2008 having appeared only once in their first team.

“I can confirm what (Dortmund’s general manager Hans-Joachim) Watzke said, that Mats is considering Bayern,” Rummenigge said.

“We have to bear in mind that he has a contract and I would not like to damage the very good relationship that we have built with Dortmund.”
