Hannover 96 continues the transfer offensive and presented the 14th access with Maik Nawrocki. The 24-year-old comes from the Scottish champion Celtic Glasgow for one season. The red also secured a purchase option. According to Virgil Ghiță, IME OKON and Hendry Blank, Nawrocki is already the fourth new central defender.
Nawrocki, who comes from Bremen and was trained at Werder, switched from Legia Warsaw to Celtic in 2023, but, unlike in Poland, he was hardly in demand after he was thrown back by a thigh injury directly at the start. In two years at The Bhoys, Nawrocki only brought it to 18 missions (one goal). During this time, its market value fell from 4.5 million to 2 million euros.
“Maik is a central defender whose game is characterized by great clarity and calm. He anticipates the game very well, can read the game and do his defensive tasks about a good header game and a high duel quality. After winning the ball, he has a very clean game continuation and has the necessary technical skills to take the switching game directly and put the people in front of him through shifts or passes in the position”, ” described sports director Marcus man.
Nawrocki added: “I am incredible to be here and now belong to the team. I think we have an exciting journey in front of us with many new players and the new coach. We want to attack with fresh strength in the coming season. Now it is time for me to arrive quickly in training, in the team and in the club.”
