I'd generally stay away from sources of things that "should happen 6 months later". Yes, sometimes it happens but often it doesn't
Good thing Hannover blocked a move to Besiktas so that he could sit on the bench after they bought a new right back.
good thing indeed since there wasn't any guarantee he wasn't going to do the same there. Plenty of time to come back or change team in the summer
Maybe injured? ... but anyway what else to expect? H96 played him often enough but every few weeks he has an abysmal game. With Pereira signed, and Sakai's new agency (who is not Kroth btw) trying to get him a transfer for cheap (probably angering the club), his time is destined to end in summer anyway. One of the client of this new agency is Havenaar lol
I agree about the way he played so far (his positioning is worse than Gotoku's which says a lot) but since he was expendable, why not let him go for some money. Not gonna get a lot of cash for a player they don't even rate themselves.
All winter they tried to get a right-back and you know the winter market... if you are not a rich club it has to do a lot with luck to get some quality. After they missed out on the Maribor guy (who had already medical before talks broke down), they wouldn't have risked to be completely without a RB. So not letting him go now is something I understand.
According to Di Marzio, Napoli is interested in Hiroki. It does not say anything else though. Napoli has a well-mannered coach, but the pressure (from fans, president, etc) there is immense. Not a club you'd call "patient". http://gianlucadimarzio.com/news-cat/napoli-idea-hiroki-sakai-dallhannover/
Hiroki is tall and stout then at least they will never insult him in a Nagatomo style (midget, weakling ecc).
