Hannover 96 are reportedly exploring a move for Franco-Algerian right winger Yassine Benhattab, who is being linked with a switch from Ligue 1 side FC Nantes to the 2. Bundesliga club.
The 23-year-old, valued at €2.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of fresh speculation, with the probability of a deal currently listed as unclear (“?”) and no contract expiry date publicly confirmed. That leaves open the possibility that Benhattab could become a free agent if his situation in France is not resolved, a scenario that would appeal to a Hannover side aiming to strengthen cost‑effectively.
Born in Marseille on 18 November 2002, Benhattab stands at 1.70m and operates primarily as a right winger, cutting in from the flank on his preferred left foot. He holds both French and Algerian nationality, enhancing his appeal in terms of squad registration rules across Europe.
Although registered as a Stade Reims player and wearing the No 90 shirt there, the latest rumour places him at Nantes as the club from which Hannover would be looking to strike a deal. No fee or contract details have been disclosed, and there are no confirmed figures regarding appearances or goals this season in the available data, nor specific recent match details such as opponents, dates or scorelines.
With a market valuation of €2.00m and experience within the French top flight structure, Benhattab would represent a relatively low-risk addition for a Hannover 96 side competing in Germany’s 2. Bundesliga and seeking extra attacking depth on the wings.
If a move does materialise, a switch from Ligue 1 to German football could provide Benhattab with the platform to establish himself at senior level, enhance his reputation in a new league and potentially open the door to future opportunities in both club and international football.
