Defensive leader found? HSV eye up Serie A star signing! | OneFootball

Looking for a new central defender, HSV is also looking to Italy: Ex-Bundesliga pro Stefan Posch is said to be coming from FC Bologna!

Hamburger SV is still working on its Bundesliga squad with high pressure after the botched test against Olympique Lyon (0:4). Especially in central defense, the Rothosen want and need to add another player after the numerous mistakes of the existing potential.

According to information from the Hamburger Abendblatt, Stefan Posch, currently under contract with FC Bologna, is the desired candidate for the vacant position in central defense.

Posch wants to switch to HSV!

What speaks in his favor: The Austrian brings the experience of 109 Bundesliga appearances for TSG Hoffenheim. In addition, he has already played in the Champions League with FC Bologna. Although the 28-year-old lost his regular place in the previous first half of the season, he was able to prove himself again during his subsequent loan to Atalanta B.C. In March, a hamstring injury slowed him down.

Despite this: Posch enjoys a high reputation within HSV. Sports director Stefan Kuntz and sports director Claus Costa want to strengthen the promoted team with players who have already proven themselves in the Bundesliga. And the veteran perfectly fulfills this profile. According to the Abendblatt report, the defender has already decided to switch to the Elbe. Now only the final agreement between the two clubs is missing.

Exciting: Posch can be used in both central and right defense. At HSV, however, he is primarily planned as a right central defender for the three-man chain. Sebastian Schonlau last played there. However, he could still leave the club this summer, while Daniel Elfadli will likely duel with Aboubakar Soumahoro in central defense. Alternatively, the Libyan, who extended his contract at Volkspark on Sunday, can also move up to central midfield.
