Fiorentina are reportedly interested in bringing defender Diego Coppola back to Serie A after he struggled for playing time at Brighton and Hove Albion.
According to Sky Sport Italia, the Viola have expressed an interest in securing Coppola, especially if it is a loan with option to buy.
These negotiations are at a very early stage, but could progress as the January transfer window drags on.
The 22-year-old had been one of the bright hopes of Italian football and earned two senior caps for the Nazionale in the summer of 2025.
They helped earn his €11m transfer to the Premier League from Hellas Verona, but he has not made much of an impact so far.
He provided two assists in nine competitive games, but only started six of those matches.
Crucially, there were only two starts in the Premier League and he has not featured at all in the last three top flight fixtures.
