Last week, Sportmediaset claimed that Brighton’s Diego Coppola could leave the club in January.
This was due to a lack of game time, with Jan Paul van Hecke and Lewis Dunk the preferred centre-back options under Fabian Hurzeler.
Talk about Coppola’s future at Brighton is now growing.
L’Eco di Bergamo – relayed by TuttoAtalanta, claim the 21-year-old is ‘on his way out’ of Brighton in January. They say this with a certain amount of confidence, with the defender described as a long-term target for Atalanta.
Despite that, a move for the centre-back is not being considered in January, as things stand.
Tuttomercatoweb add more and indicate that a big move could be on the cards.
Bologna, who are playing in the Champions League, could yet sell Jhon Lucumi in January. This can lead them to the Brighton player.
Juventus is another possible destination, with Torino also interested.
So far this season, Coppola has played only 17 minutes in the Premier League. That is a different reality to how things were at Hellas Verona last season, when he played 34 times in Serie A. The Italian finds himself in unfamiliar territory and that is encouraging transfer claims.
