Fiorentina make initial contact for Brighton’s Diego Coppola

Fiorentina are actively planning its defensive overhaul for the January transfer window, and a concrete target has emerged from the Premier League. The club has reportedly identified Brighton’s young defender, Diego Coppola, as a priority signing to shore up their struggling backline, according to a report from FirenzeViola.

The need for a central defender is considered a major priority for the Viola management, who are seeking greater solidity in the squad. Coppola, who is currently with Brighton, is viewed as a “concrete option” for the club.

FirenzeViola reports that Fiorentina has already made an initial approach for the player, suggesting a genuine intent to follow through on the interest. This transfer track is one that could materialize quickly as the January window opens, providing the Florentine club with a potential solution to their current defensive woes.

There is also interest in Chelsea duo Axel Disasi and Josh Acheampong but a deal is proving to be quite difficult.
