Davie Selke was a transfer target for Hannover 96. According to Bild, club patron Martin Kind stated that the player is economically not viable but that there are alternatives. The transfer to Hannover 96 is apparently no longer being considered.

According to 'Hamburger Morgenpost', after an intensive exchange, Hannover 96 realized that a collaboration with Davie Selke is not financially feasible. 'Bild' had reported on Sunday about the second division club's idea to bring the striker back to Germany. Davie Selke reportedly earns a net annual salary of two million euros at Basaksehir, and the transfer fee demanded by the Turkish club is reported to be two million euros. The total cost is not manageable for Hannover 96, even if Selke were to make concessions.

According to Bild, Hannover 96's desired transfer of Davie Selke is at risk of failing.

Hannover 96 are working on signing 31-year-old German striker Davie Selke. It is said that he is a primary target for the club. A potential transfer for the forward could happen in the final days of the transfer window. He is currently under contract with Basaksehir in the Süper Lig until 2027, having joined the club in July 2025. The former Germany U21 international has 15 caps and 9 goals. His current market value is €2.80m, according to Transfermarkt, and he has also been linked with VfL Wolfsburg.
