Italian media: Posch set for imminent move to HSV! | OneFootball

A transfer of Stefan Posch to HSV could happen in the next few days. At least, that's what Italian media are reporting.

Hamburger SV is apparently on the verge of signing Stefan Posch. According to the information from the Italian sports newspaper Corriere dello Sport, the transfer of the Austrian national player is on the home stretch. Posch, still under contract with FC Bologna until the summer of 2026, no longer plays a central role in the plans of coach Vincenzo Italiano and is ready for a new challenge.

The 28-year-old would return to familiar territory in the event of a HSV transfer: before his time in Serie A, Posch played for TSG Hoffenheim for five years, where he played over 100 Bundesliga games and was used both in the center and on the right side of the defense.

Report: Posch pushing for HSV transfer

If the deal actually comes to fruition, HSV would have found the sought-after central defender with defensive chief format. The right-footed player was already close to a transfer to Germany in the winter, but decided on a loan to Atalanta B.C. back then. Since the Lombards did not exercise the purchase option and Posch only played a minor role in Bologna's training camp, the time for a new start may have come.

Especially pleasing for the HSV officials: according to Corriere dello Sport, Posch is convinced of the perspective at the Bundesliga promoted team. He himself is apparently pushing for a transfer to Hamburg. The negotiations with Bologna are ongoing and an agreement is said to be a matter of form.

However, caution is still advised: German media such as Bild and Mopo recently reported that Posch had not yet finally decided on the red pants. HSV is conducting parallel talks with other central defenders, with whom one is sometimes further. Which information proves to be correct remains to be seen for the time being.

One thing is certain: the Hanseatic League wants to present two more newcomers, including a man for the defensive center, at best this week, at the latest at the start of the training camp next Wednesday.
