"The all action midfielder has been one of Die Roten 's key players so far, playing in nearly every game as the club chases promotion to the Bundesliga, living up to his potential, staying injury free and integrating himself as one of the key members of head coach Christian Titz's pressing system. Ergo Tz reports, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, that Bayern are considering bringing the former Hertha BSC player back:"
"A physical monster Nkili is indeed, though that physicality has been severely hampered over the years by numerous injuries at the Bayern Campus. His injury free time- so far- at Hannover is certainly a relief and a hopeful sign that he has left his injury worries in the past, but it is noticeable that he rarely completes 90 minutes at Hannover. It could be minute management to prevent an injury or he could just be gassed before the final whistle is blown."
Leon Goretzka's Bayern Munich contract expires in the summer, opening a potential midfield spot. Noël Aséko Nkili has been on loan at Hannover 96 since January 2025, progressing from the U-23s in 3. Liga to a key first-team role in 2025/26. Nkili has featured in nearly every game, thriving in Christian Titz's high-press system and helping Hannover chase Bundesliga promotion. Bayern hold a buy-back clause in the low single-digit millions while Hannover have a €1m option to buy. Nkili is described internally as a 'physical monster' but carries a history of injuries and rarely completes 90 minutes.
