Enzo Leopold remains extended at Hannover 96: contract until 2026!

An important step for Hannover 96: Enzo Leopold, the club's midfielder, has extended his contract until summer 2026. The 24-year-old, who switched from SC Freiburg in the summer of 2022, will remain a key player for the red at least until the end of the contract. This reports, among other things, Bild.de .

Leopold has developed into a top performer in the season so far and has already come over 1,500 minutes of use. For comparison: in the previous season he only brought it to a little more than 900 minutes. Its market value has more than doubled during this time, and is now 1.5 million euros, i.e. a decent jump of 600,000 euros at the beginning of the season, such as Transfermarkt.de reported.

positive development and captain's role

Finally, Leopold carried the captain's armband at the test game against Randers FC, since Ron-Robert Zieler is injured. This not only illustrates his trust within the team, but also his increased responsibility on the pitch. "The captain's role is something special for me, but it doesn't change my way of playing," said Leopold. Despite the defeat of 1: 2 in the test game, he praised the positive aspects of the game and the team's opportunities, which shows that the upward trend at Hanover stops.

Leopold scored two goals in 20 games this season and delivered three goals in the last four games. These results reinforce the assessments of sports director Marcus Mann, who attests to Leopold as a quick adaptation and development as a central player. The fans can also be looking forward to the next time, since Leopold feels his time in Hanover as very positive and has not regretted the change, as on hannover96.de

A look into the future

The sporting perspective at Hannover 96 seems promising: with a new head coach, Christian Titz, and 14 new additions, the season is exciting. Leopold will play a central role and continue to promote its development. The fans hope that the upcoming games will show that Hannover 96 is on the right track and underlined the positive development.

How it generally continues with the team and what place they will take at the end of the season remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: With Enzo Leopold, Hannover 96 will have a motivated player at his side who is ready to accept the challenges of the 2nd Bundesliga and continue to play his talents.
