According to Tuttomercato, Cremonese has expressed interest in Raphael Kofler, an Italian defender born in 2005 who is part of the Italy U21 national team. Paolo Bravo, the sporting director of Sudtirol, has reportedly set Kofler's base price at three million euros. Sudtirol is open to selling Kofler if this price is met, although coach Fabrizio Castori reportedly feels it might not yet be the right time for Kofler to move to a higher category. A decision regarding Kofler's future is expected in the coming days, with Riccardo Cargnelutti and Michael Venturi being considered as potential replacements. Apart from Cremonese, Kofler has also drawn interest from Sassuolo and Pisa. Kofler's contract with Sudtirol runs until June 30, 2028, and Transfermarkt currently values him at €2.00m.
