The Hütteldorf side are considering signing Christopher Olivier, an Austrian U-21 national player who also holds South African citizenship, currently with Stuttgart II in the third German league. The 'green-and-whites' have reportedly already begun talks with the player’s representatives and have also submitted a written offer. A potential transfer is said to be dependent on the future of right-back Bendeguz Bolla, with a move for the 20-year-old Olivier likely only being considered if the Hungarian departs. Hannover 96 is also reportedly monitoring the Austrian, who attracted significant interest from within Austria during the winter, although a transfer did not happen at that time. Olivier's contract with Stuttgart II is valid until June 2028, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €1.20m. In the 2025/2026 3. Liga season, he made 34 appearances, providing 5 assists.
