Sunderland expressed interest in Rabbi Matondo, who remains under contract with Glasgow Rangers until 2026. Nevertheless, Matondo has been loaned to Hannover 96 until the season's end, following a day of negotiations led by Hannover's sporting director Marcus Mann. The winger, celebrated for his remarkable speed, will join Hannover without an option to buy. The move was officially announced at 7 PM, with Mann noting that Matondo's abilities would contribute to the squad's stability and depth. Despite Sunderland's interest, Matondo is set to play for Hannover 96 during this loan period.
