Posch move to Atalanta: Hoffenheim comes away empty-handed!

On Deadline Day, Austrian defender Stefan Posch is moving from FC Bologna to Atalanta Bergamo. The loan fee amounts to one million euros, while Atalanta, as the reigning Europa League winners, also secures a purchase option for the 27-year-old. Loud laola1.at Posch was no longer placed in Bologna under the new coach Vincenzo Italiano and is now looking for new challenges. Atalanta currently finds itself in third place in Serie A and remains active in the fight for the championship against Napoli and Inter. They are also in the Champions League, where they will play against Club Brugge next week.

TSG Hoffenheim, who also courted Posch, remained unsuccessful. Media reports that the club is examining several alternatives to strengthen the defense after Posch's return was thwarted shortly before the end. Loud sports.yahoo.com Reports about the possible departure of Florian Grillitsch, another Austrian player at Hoffenheim, have also gained momentum. Grillitsch was told by coach Christian Ilzer that he no longer plays a role in the plans, but the 29-year-old is hesitant to leave the club because he fears the uncertainty of a new location. It remains to be seen whether the situation at Hoffenheim will change, especially if the coaching chair changes in the near future.
