Yunus Ünal, a U17-DFB national player, is transferring to Hannover for the new season and has signed a contract until 2030. Ralf Becker, the interim boss of Hannover 96, said that Yunus is a strong-playing wing-back who has a very interesting profile, combining speed, dynamism, and goal threat with high flexibility on the left side. Becker added that in his age group, Yunus is one of the most exciting talents for his position in Germany. He also stated that they believe he can establish himself in the professional sector with them and that they will fully support his development.

According to Bild, the transfer of Yunus Ünal to Hannover 96 is confirmed, and he is the first new signing for the club. Ünal is 18 years old, played for Hertha since 2022, and has six U17 international matches.

According to a report by 'Transfermarkt.de', there are increasing indications that promising German winger Yunus Ünal will leave Hertha BSC on a free transfer in the summer, and the 18-year-old left-footer is expected to join Hannover 96. At the Berlin club, the six-time German U17 international, who scored one goal for the team, was close to joining the senior squad last year following strong performances for the U19 and second teams. He participated in test matches under head coach Stefan Leitl but did not make a competitive professional appearance, which was reportedly in part due to his expiring contract. His current Transfermarkt market value is €200k.
