Overview
- BILD says Geiger will sign a two‑year contract with NEC Nijmegen through 2028 but the transfer has not been independently confirmed.
- The 28‑year‑old midfielder has been with Hoffenheim since 2009 and would depart after 17 years with the club.
- Geiger spent the recent second half of the season on loan at FC Aberdeen and has only recently returned to fitness after recurring thigh and muscle injuries.
- NEC coach Dick Schreuder is reported to have targeted Geiger because of prior familiarity from time at Hoffenheim.
- NEC’s drop from Champions League qualifying to the Europa League raises the possibility of European matches against Hoffenheim if the transfer is completed.
