Hans Hateboer, a 31-year-old Dutch defender, is a candidate for Sassuolo's right defense wing. The Italian club is actively seeking to strengthen their squad in the final days of the summer transfer window, following a 0-2 home defeat to Napoli in their Serie A opener. Hateboer, currently with Rennes and formerly of Atalanta, has also attracted renewed interest from Groningen, the club where he began his professional career. His contract with the French club runs until June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.5 million.
