Hannover are battling against relegation from the Bundesliga this season and are looking to strengthen their team in January.
Hannover have previously been linked with Schalke ace Gerald Asamoah but Neuen Presse Hannover reports now that the club have turned their attention to Makaay.
The 34-year-old could be interested in a move to the Bundesliga after having lost his spot in the starting eleven at Feyenoord.
