Hannover confirm centre-half Ghiță as latest coup | OneFootball

Hannover 96 have officially confirmed the signing of centre-half Virgil Ghiță, the club has announced.

The 2.Bundesliga side will pay a fee in the region of €1million to Polish club Cracovia for his services.

With three caps for Romania to his name, Ghiță who is still just 27-years-old, pens a deal at the Niedersachsenstadion until 2028.

Amazingly, Ghiță becomes Hannover's twelfth incoming player of the summer and adds greater cover in their defensive third.

Managing director Marcus Mann is excited about the new signing: “ Virgil is an exceptionally fast yet robust central defender.

"He has a good mentality, defends forward, and tries to create and push forward situations even when in possession.

“With these attributes, he fits the profile we need for our game very well. In addition, he wants to lead the way,” he explained.
