Brighton & Hove Albion are nearing a deal to sign highly-rated Italian centre-back Diego Coppola from Hellas Verona, with an official offer exceeding €10 million already submitted.
The Premier League side have taken a significant step ahead of rivals by formally approaching Verona to express their interest—progressing beyond preliminary discussions.
Sources reveal that only the final contractual details remain to be ironed out before the transfer is completed, with Brighton aiming to finalise the deal imminently.
The 21-year-old defender, considered Verona’s most valuable asset this summer, has been attracting strong interest from Serie A powerhouses including Juventus and AC Milan.
However, Brighton have emerged as front-runners after becoming the first club to submit a concrete proposal.
Coppola, who is contracted to Verona until 2027, has made a name for himself in Serie A with his composure on the ball and aerial strength.
This move has been in the making for over a month, marking a potential coup for Brighton as they beat top Italian clubs to one of Italy’s most promising young defenders.
