Stefan Posch has become Atalanta's second acquisition of the winter transfer window. The deal was finalized late in the evening, with Atalanta successfully outbidding Como by proposing a loan arrangement that includes a 1 million euro fee, an option to purchase for 7 million euros, and an additional 1 million euros if the player is not acquired permanently. It was reported that the Austrian player was not entirely persuaded by the prospect of joining Como, a factor that significantly influenced Atalanta's last-minute efforts to complete the transfer. Posch is expected to arrive in Bergamo for medical tests and may be included in the squad for the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Bologna.

Atalanta has completed the signing of Stefan Posch from Bologna. The transfer was executed swiftly, especially after the injury of Kolasinac against Torino, which left Atalanta short in defense.

Atalanta is making a significant push for Stefan Posch due to various injuries in their defense. Although there was strong interest from Como and Hoffenheim recently, Atalanta is now leading the race. The deal is structured as a loan with a fee of 1 million euros and an option to buy for 7 million euros. There is also a penalty of 1 million euros if the player is not purchased outright. The player is expected to travel to Bergamo tonight and tomorrow morning.
