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

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

Leopold has developed into a top performer so far this season and has already played over 1,500 minutes. For comparison: In the previous season he only managed a little over 900 minutes. His market value has more than doubled during this time and is now at 1.5 million euros, i.e. a decent jump from 600,000 euros at the start of the season transfermarkt.de reported.

Positive development and captaincy

Leopold recently wore the captain's armband in the friendly against Randers FC because Ron-Robert Zieler was injured. This not only shows his trust within the team, but also his increased responsibility on the pitch. “The captaincy is something special for me, but it doesn’t change the way I play,” said Leopold. Despite the 2-1 defeat in the friendly, he praised the positive aspects of the game and the team's increased chances, which shows that Hannover's upward trend continues.

Leopold has scored two goals in 20 games this season and provided three assists in the last four games. These results reinforce the assessments of sports director Marcus Mann, who attests that Leopold adapted quickly and developed into a central player. The fans can also look forward to the next time, as Leopold finds his time in Hanover very positive and has no regrets about the move hannover96.de is to be read.

A look into the future

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

What will happen to the team in general and what place they will occupy at the end of the season remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: With Enzo Leopold, Hannover 96 will have a motivated player at their side who is ready to take on the challenges of the 2nd Bundesliga and further exploit his talents.
