The Hannover 96 Chronicle
Market30 Aug 2027
Hannover 96 turn down Union Berlin for Leo Weinkauf
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets30 Aug 2027
Hannover 96 bid $4.0M for Cedric Itten
The offer went to Fortuna Düsseldorf this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Benjamin Källman: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hannover 96 have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Preußen Münster tell Hannover 96: Lars Ritzka is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The paperwork begins on Florian Müller
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Hannover 96 have done the hard part with SC Freiburg, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at Hannover 96
Virgil Ghiţă and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Player ratings30 Aug 2027
Reiss Nelson was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 21. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
Boardroom30 Aug 2027
5 academy players handed senior numbers at Hannover 96
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
