Hannover 96 Sign Elias Saad on Loan From Augsburg Until Season’s End

The move aims to give the Tunisia winger steady minutes after limited opportunities in Augsburg’s current setup.

Overview

  • Augsburger Allgemeine reports the medical is completed and the loan contains no purchase option.
  • Hannover sporting chief Jörg Schmadtke praised Saad’s one‑v‑one ability and fit to strengthen the team’s final‑third play.
  • Saad logged only 10–11 appearances without a goal this season and slipped down the pecking order following Augsburg’s coaching change and his Africa Cup duty.
  • Hertha BSC pursued the player, but Hannover won the race, adding him to a winter intake that already includes wide option Noah Weißhaupt.
  • The 26‑year‑old remains contracted to Augsburg through 2029 after a reported €2 million move from St. Pauli, with an estimated market value near €4 million.
