Gustaf Nilsson Transfer from Club Brugge to Hannover 96
Although Hannover was a potential destination for Gustaf Nilsson, an agreement was not reached. Nilsson did not accept being forced to leave, and Club Brugge began to increase the pressure on him. The player is not willing to move to a club or competition that does not fully convince him, as moving to the second Bundesliga would mean a lower salary, less exposure, and no sporting guarantees. Nilsson stated to Fotbollskanalen that his exclusion was political as well as sporting, and that the club made it clear he was not permitted to play because they wanted him to leave. According to Het Nieuwsblad, Club Brugge is having Nilsson train separately from the first team and limiting his contact with other players.

German second-division club Hannover is interested in Gustaf Nilsson, and several English Championship teams are also monitoring the striker. The 29-year-old Swedish international has 11 caps and 4 goals for his country. He is not part of coach Ivan Leko's plans at Club Brugge, where he has a contract until mid-2028. Hertha Berlin, another German second-tier side, was also previously reported to be interested. Club Brugge is reportedly open to a loan deal, which could include a purchase option of around 2.5 million, as the club wants to remove his significant salary from its wage bill. However, a move is complicated by Nilsson's high wages, and the player is reportedly waiting to evaluate his options. Nilsson joined Club Brugge from Union Saint-Gilloise in July 2024 for a fee of €6.4 million. His current market value is €1.80m, according to Transfermarkt.
