Phil Neumann, a top defender in the 2. Liga, is likely to transfer to England. His current club has good chances of being promoted to the Bundesliga, but a move to England seems probable.

The talks about a contract extension between Phil Neumann and Hannover 96 have failed. Neumann, who joined Hannover in 2022 from Holstein Kiel, rejected Hannover's offer. It is reported that there are several interested parties from the Bundesliga.

Phil Neumann has garnered attention from various clubs owing to his consistent performances. During the summer, an offer from England was available, but Hannover 96 manager Marcus Mann stated that Neumann was not for sale following the exit of center-back Bright Arrey-Mbi to Sporting Braga. Neumann has indicated his interest in playing in England at some stage in his career, though he has not decided on moving abroad next year. He remains open to the possibility of staying at Hannover 96, contingent upon the team's performance this season.
