Market28 Jun 2027

Husseyn Chakroun turns TSG Hoffenheim down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market28 Jun 2027

Benjamin Källman puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hannover 96, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

Nürnberg tell Hannover 96: Semir Telalović 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.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

Maarten Paes due for a Hannover 96 medical

Everything agreed with Twente, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Hannover 96

Alexander Ahl Holmström and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad28 Jun 2027

A row about effort at Hannover 96

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Benjamin Källman was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market28 Jun 2027

Hannover 96 borrow Rafael Pinto Pedrosa

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Rafael Pinto Pedrosa arrives from Karlsruher SC with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Market28 Jun 2027

No place for Brooklyn Ezeh in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Brooklyn Ezeh has his answer from Hannover 96; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Lars Gindorf gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market21 Jun 2027

Hannover 96 say no — this time

The offer from Fortuna Düsseldorf for Leo Weinkauf was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Door shut on Aleix García

Hannover 96 asked and Bayer Leverkusen said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market21 Jun 2027

Hannover 96 sign Alexander Ahl Holmström for $3.5M

The paperwork is done: Alexander Ahl Holmström joins from Magdeburg in a deal worth $3.5M. Now comes the harder part.

Market21 Jun 2027

Noah Engelbreth hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hannover 96 can pretend not to have heard.

Market21 Jun 2027

Hannover 96 sign Avdo Spahić for $390.0K

The paperwork is done: Avdo Spahić joins from Kaiserslautern in a deal worth $390.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Tempers go at Hannover 96

Virgil Ghiţă was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

A loan move for Rémy Descamps is in the works

Hannover 96 have made the call to Olympique Lyonnais. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

A loan move for Rafael Pinto Pedrosa is in the works

Hannover 96 have made the call to Karlsruher SC. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Brooklyn Ezeh

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match7 Nov 2026

Hannover 96 win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 91th minute. Holstein Kiel will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Match7 Nov 2026

Hannover 96 end the wait against Holstein Kiel

It had gone 8 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Raul Florucz runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Maurice Neubauer stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Maurice Neubauer and Hannover 96 agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words exchanged at Hannover 96

Virgil Ghiţă and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match7 Nov 2026

Hannover 96 get the job done against Holstein Kiel

A 1‑0 win over Holstein Kiel, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Words at Hannover 96 training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Benjamin Källman is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Reiss Nelson

7.97, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Hannover 96 had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout9 Nov 2026

Kevin Scholz: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Door shut on Noah Okafor

Hannover 96 asked and Leeds United said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad24 Aug 2026

83 days out for Carl Klaus after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Hannover 96 will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Hannover 96 make their move for Raul Florucz

$4.8M on the table at Union SG. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market24 Aug 2026

Brooklyn Ezeh asks to leave Hannover 96

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Hannover 96 sign off a bigger ground

A capacity of 47386 on the plans. A decision judged twenty years from now, by people who were not in the room and will have opinions anyway.

Looking ahead24 Aug 2026

Håvard Nielsen faces his old club

Eintracht Braunschweig next, and one man in the Hannover 96 dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A season on the outside for William Kokolo

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Hannover 96 has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Market24 Aug 2026

Carl Klaus arrives on loan

Hannover 96 have taken Carl Klaus on loan from Union Berlin — cover where cover was needed.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Leo Weinkauf has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Leo Weinkauf keeps the shirt for now, at Hannover 96's convenience rather than his own.
