Club career

On 8 June 2017, he signed for Serie A side Atalanta, reportedly on a four-year contract, arriving as a free agent after leaving Lucerne at the end of his contract. ^{[3] [4]}

On 25 July 2018, Haas joined Serie B club Palermo on a season-long loan deal. ^[5]

On 25 September 2020, he joined Serie B club Empoli on loan. If Empoli were to be promoted to Serie A at the end of the 2020–21 season, Empoli was obligated to purchase his rights. ^[7] That condition was fulfilled as Empoli was promoted.

On 3 September 2023, Haas returned to FC Luzern on a season-long loan deal with the option to purchase. ^[8]
