Fans can’t believe what shirt Mats Hummels was spotted wearing during his pre-season break

Mats Hummels’ Weird Shirt Choice Has Fans In Stitches

Mats Hummels has left football fans scratching their heads with his latest outfit choice. The 35-year-old centre-back, who is currently a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund, posted a picture of himself wearing a Liverpool away shirt from the 2018/19 season on Instagram.

The jersey features Virgil van Dijk’s name and number on the back, and Hummels captioned the post: "One of the best CB’s ever…wearing a @virgilvandijk jersey sorry for that gag… you are a beast." The comment section was flooded with replies, with many fans praising Hummels’ sense of humor and admiration for Van Dijk’s skills on the pitch.

A Gag Worth Repeating?

This is the second instance Hummels has been spotted rocking an unexpected shirt this summer. Earlier, he was seen training wearing a Greece shirt from Euro 2012, with a caption that read: "It’s difficult to find a jersey for sports that doesn’t cause any stupid rumours afterwards." Fans were quick to poke fun at the German international’s choice, but Hummels seems to be taking it all in stride.

A Symbol of Respect?

While some fans may see Hummels’ shirt choice as a joke, it could also be seen as a symbol of respect for his opponents. By wearing Van Dijk’s jersey, Hummels is acknowledging the Dutch defender’s exceptional skill and talent on the pitch. The two centre-backs have had their fair share of battles on the pitch, but it seems that Hummels has a healthy dose of respect for his counterpart.

What’s Next for Hummels?

As Hummels remains a free agent, fans are left wondering what’s next for the experienced centre-back. Will he find a new club before the start of the season, or will he opt for a fresh start in a new league? Whatever the case, one thing is for sure – Hummels will always have a sense of humor about him.
