TSG loan Damar out to Hannover

Muhammed Damar is joining second-tier side Hannover 96 on loan from Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim. The German youth international will spend the 2023/2024 season on loan at the club from the banks of the Leine. Damar has a contract with Hoffenheim until 30 June 2026.

"Mo is a young and highly talented player who we believe will make his breakthrough in our first-team squad in the future. He has developed very well in recent months, both physically and mentally, and is therefore now ready for the next step in his career," says Pirmin Schwegler, director of football at TSG, adding: "We previously had good experiences when we sent Maximilian Beier out on loan to Hannover 96, and for this reason we are sure that Mo will also make huge progress there and get regular playing time at a high level in the 2. Bundesliga. This is not something we can guarantee him at the moment, as we have numerous highly talented midfielders in our squad, and we can't work on developing them while contesting matches in the Bundesliga. With this in mind, Mo's loan to Hannover 96 makes sense for all concerned.''

Muhammed Damar moved to TSG from Eintracht Frankfurt's youth set-up in July 2022. In his first year in the Kraichgau, the 19-year-old midfielder turned out six times for the first team in the Bundesliga and also made 20 appearances for Hoffenheim's U23s in the Regionalliga Südwest (seven goals / nine assists). Since making his debut for the Germany U19 national team in September 2022, Damar has racked up eight appearances and scored six goals.
