According to Bild, Hannover 96 is interested in signing German goalkeeper Matheo Raab, 27, as their new number one. Hannover 96 wants to sign Matheo Raab as their new number one goalkeeper, and the club is also considering Florian Kastenmeier for the role. Their primary target, Florian Hellstern of VfB Stuttgart, opted for a different move. Raab wants to play regularly and not be a number two. He has been unable to displace Frederik Rönnow since joining Union Berlin with the aim of becoming the first-choice keeper. It is unclear if Union would permit his departure or for what transfer fee. Union paid HSV €400,000 for him in the summer of 2025. Raab's opportunities at Union appear limited, and his situation was complicated when he suffered a hand ligament tear in March after playing one game against Freiburg. His position in the club's hierarchy is also under threat from Carl Klaus, who impressed after stepping in as the third-choice keeper during a later injury to Rönnow. His current Transfermarkt market value is €600k.
