Como send Dossena to Cagliari and Posch to Mainz | OneFootball

Como are busy whittling down their huge squad, as Alberto Dossena joined Cagliari today, while Stefan Posch is going on loan to Mainz.

The Lariani are flying high in Serie A under coach Cesc Fabregas and competing for a place in Europe next season.

However, their big investments also mean that the squad is vast and some who have struggled for playing time are heading for the exit.

A transfer was officially completed today, as defender Dossena has signed for Cagliari on loan until the end of the season.

Meanwhile, multiple sources including Sportitalia and Sky Sport Deutschland confirm that Mainz agreed all terms with Como and centre-back Posch.

He had also been approached by Hamburger SV and FC Koln, but Mainz emerged the winners.

This too is going to be a dry loan to the end of the season, so there is no option to make it permanent.

The Austria international had joined Como from Bologna in September on loan with an option to buy becoming an obligation if certain conditions are met.
