Hannover 96 is on the lookout for a new number one as Nahuel Noll is set to depart the club this summer following the expiration of his loan deal. According to a report from *Bild*, the 2. Bundesliga side has identified former Bayern Munich youth talent Tom Ritzy Hülsmann, currently with TSV Hartberg, as a top target. However, Bayern Munich could also play a role in any potential deal.
Hülsmann made the switch from Bayern Munich’s U23 team to TSV Hartberg in the summer of 2025, after a loan spell at St. Pölten the previous season. The 22-year-old goalkeeper has established himself as the first-choice shot-stopper in Austria, making 32 appearances, conceding 41 goals, and keeping 10 clean sheets. His market value has risen from €250,000 to €800,000. Hülsmann’s contract with Hartberg runs through 2027.
The report does not mention any concrete talks between Hülsmann and Hannover, suggesting interest is still in its early stages. Additionally, clubs from Italy, Denmark, and Switzerland are reportedly monitoring the goalkeeper. According to *Bild*, Bayern Munich holds a buy-back clause, meaning they could profit from a potential transfer. Hülsmann made 29 appearances for Bayern’s U23 and played alongside Aleksandar Pavlovic, Paul Wanner, and Kenan Yıldız during his youth days.
Noll, who has been instrumental for Hannover with ten clean sheets amid their promotion push, will leave the club this summer. His future remains unclear, as he would likely serve as the backup to national team goalkeeper Oliver Baumann at his parent club TSG Hoffenheim. Recently, he has been linked with SC Freiburg as a potential successor to Noah Atubolu.
