Diego Coppola could return to Serie A: the former Verona player in the sights of Lazio

Diego Coppola could soon return to the Italian championship. The former Verona defender, now under contract with Brighton, spent the second part of last season on loan at Paris FC in Ligue 1. Except in the first two matches where he remained on the bench, Coppola started each match and played all of the matches. After just five appearances for the Seagulls in the Premier League, he has racked up 13 appearances in the French league, in which he provided two assists.

According to the newspaper “La Repubblica” Roman edition, the player would be one of the priorities of Lazio, coached by Gennaro Gattuso, in search of defensive reinforcements. The club from the Italian capital is still considering the future of players like Gila and Romagnoli, both of whom are likely to leave the squad. However, Brighton would demand more than 11 million euros to sell Coppola, a high price which could complicate negotiations.

It remains to be seen whether an agreement can be found during the transfer window and whether Brighton will agree to lower their demands to allow Coppola to return to Serie A.
