Among the biggest market value losers
It has been known for months that Linton Maina will not extend his expiring contract with Hannover 96 next summer and will devote himself to a new challenge after eight years at the club. The 22-year-old homegrown player, who has stagnated in his development after a steep rise in the recent past, is in demand in the Bundesliga. Specifically, it is loud “sports buzzer” by three clubs.

Accordingly, both RB Leipzig, Mainz 05 and Hertha BSC advertise for the services of Maina, who commutes between the starting eleven and the substitute bench in the current season. “We know about the target, where he wants to play,” confirmed 96 sports director Marcus Mann in the report. “It’s not our turn to be able to do anything. I don’t know the current status at Linton either. We are only silent observers.”
Werder very present: Most valuable players in the 2nd Bundesliga
What is certain is that the right-footed player should return to the Bundesliga, where he last played for Hannover in 2018/19. While Leipzig and Mainz have already secured their place in the upper house as fourth and tenth in the table, Hertha (currently on the relegation rank) still has to worry about staying up in the remaining seven games. Should this not succeed, the chance of the Berlin-born second most valuable Hanover professional for the capital club would probably be gone.

Maina only lost its status as number one in terms of market value in the Red squad on Wednesday in the interim update of the 2nd Bundesliga to Maximilian Beier (19). The loan from TSG Hoffenheim went up by 500,000 to 2.5 million euros, while Maina – a few years ago the most valuable player in the entire league – lost 700,000 euros and is now valued at 1.8 million euros. Only Leonardo Bittencourt (28) suffered an even bigger loss.
