Posch joins Fabregas’ team after two seasons with Bologna, after signing for the Rossoblu from Bundesliga outfit TSG Hoffenheim in 2023. Since his arrival in Italy, the defender played 87 times for the club before spending the second half of last season on loan with Atalanta.

With Bologna, Posch played a big part under Thiago Motta when the club qualified for the 2024-25 Champions League and will helping to carry his experience over to an up-and-coming side who will also be dreaming of European football.
