Posch change to Atalanta: Hoffenheim goes away empty-handed!

Bergamo, Italien - The Austrian defender Stefan Posch from FC Bologna to Atalanta Bergamo changes at the "Deadline Day". The rental fee amounts to one million euros, while Atalanta, as the reigning European League winner, also secures a purchase option for the 27-year-old. According to laola1.at Posch was no longer set in Bologna under the new coach Vincenzo Italiano and is now looking for new challenges. Atalanta is currently 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 FC Bruges next week.

TSG Hoffenheim, which also campaigned for Posch, remains without success. Media reports that the association is examining several alternatives to strengthen the defensive after the return of Posch was slowed down shortly before the end. According to sports.yahoo.com , reports on the possible departure of Florian Grillitsch, another Austrian player at Hoffenheim, have also increased in dynamics. Grillitsch was informed by coach Christian Ilzer that he no longer plays a role in planning, but the 29-year-old hesitates 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 should change in the near future.
