Overview
- Hannover officially renewed Leo Weinkauf’s contract, tying the 29-year-old goalkeeper to the club until 2028.
- Weinkauf has been part of Hannover’s goalkeeper group since 2018, has made four senior appearances, and is being kept in the squad as a long-serving backup and dependable team presence.
- Sport director Ralf Becker praised Weinkauf as a “Musterprofi,” and the player said he feels comfortable at the club and wanted to continue contributing to the team.
- Hannover must replace loanee Nahuel Noll as the expected starter and media reports name Florian Kastenmeier and Matheo Raab as possible targets, but those transfer links remain unconfirmed by the club.
- The club paired the announcement with a branded video that used a wine-bottle pun and also promoted internal staff moves, elevating Clemens Döring to first-team co-trainer while Lars Barlemann moves to the U23s.
