Tuttomercato reports that Diego Coppola of Brighton is ready to return to Italy and is among the options for Genoa's defense. There is competition for him from Torino, Fiorentina, and Milan.

Brighton's Italian centre-back Diego Coppola is seeking a move in January to secure more playing time, having received limited playing time since his €11 million transfer from Hellas Verona last summer. The 22-year-old, who has two caps for Italy, has made just four Premier League appearances this season and has not been frequently selected in England, prompting concerns that his growth could be interrupted, and he would gladly return to Serie A. Genoa is one of four Italian clubs reportedly prepared to offer the player a position, with Fiorentina, Torino, and Bologna also interested. Coppola's contract with the Premier League club runs until June 2030, and he has a current Transfermarkt value of €10 million. Earlier in 2025, Juventus was reportedly interested at valuations between €12 million and €15 million.
