Mats Hummels set to return to Bayern Munich from Borussia Dortmund – ESPN FC

I don’t get why this keeps happening to Borussia Dortmund. They need to do better in terms of handling contracts and/or release clauses or something, especially in relation to Bayern. Of all the other moves, Gotze and Lewandowski, Hummels is seemingly the most understandable because he’s going back to his hometown. What’s not understandable is his wanting to go back after his previous annoyance with Bayern after leaving and the fact that his team is very much capable of challenging them if he stayed. It’s not one of those cases where he won’t play, he definitely will but it’s still just weird.  If Dortmund can get Gotze back, for cheap or really free, that softens the blow a bit but they don’t need help in attack.
