Marcel Halstenberg apparently wants to return from cup winners RB Leipzig to his hometown club Hannover 96 in the 2nd Bundesliga. “Picture” and “table football“ reported on Monday that the 31-year-old defender had already informed the Leipzig club management of this request.
The interest of the 96ers in a return campaign for the native of Laatzen has been known since May. Halstenberg played in the youth department and in the second team of Lower Saxony until 2011, before moving to Leipzig in 2015 via Borussia Dortmund II and FC St. Pauli. His contract with the Champions League participant is valid until 2024.
In order for a transfer to take place this summer, “a lot has to come together,” said Hanover’s sports director Marcus Mann of the “Neue Presse”. The nine-time national player would have to accept massive salary losses and accept a transfer fee from Leipzig that the second division club can also pay. However, the “Bild” reported in May that RB would accommodate his long-time professional.
