According to BILD, Nilsson is still being considered by Hannover 96. Nilsson is apparently not eager to accept a potential offer. According to Het Laatste Nieuws, Nilsson reportedly only wants to move to a top league. The main obstacle appears to be Nilsson's lucrative salary, and the club realizes it will not be able to recoup its investment of approximately seven million.

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.
