Kevin Behrens has been given permission to leave VfL Wolfsburg during the winter transfer window. Hannover 96 has shown interest in acquiring the 33-year-old forward, who has an annual salary of two million euros. Nevertheless, the transfer is deemed financially burdensome. Marcus Mann, the sports director, indicated that the possibility for a permanent move has not yet materialized. Behrens' contract is set to expire in six months, and he does not feature in Ralph Hasenhüttl's plans, rendering a loan deal impractical. Behrens is reportedly demanding a contract extending to 2027, which financially precludes a permanent move at this time. Hannover has temporarily pulled back from pursuing the transfer, yet Mann remains hopeful about potentially introducing Behrens as a new player for the second division club.

Hannover 96 is looking to strengthen their attack. Sporting director Marcus Mann considered former player Kevin Behrens, with whom he has a personal connection. However, the deal is currently considered unaffordable. There is still a bit of hope remaining for the transfer.
