Hansa Rostock may still look to sign a player for the number 10 position. According to BILD, the club is awaiting a decision from Nick Bätzner. The 26-year-old German attacking midfielder from Paderborn has not yet made a choice. Besides Hansa, Rot-Weiss Essen is also an option for Bätzner, as is remaining with SC Paderborn. Bätzner joined Paderborn in July 2025, with his contract running until June 30, 2027. He has two caps for the Germany U21 team and his current Transfermarkt market value is €500k. Coach Daniel Brinkmann stated that if the club does make a move, they will bring in a player who improves the team, and he did not rule out the possibility that this could still occur.
