Lazio considers signing Brighton defender Diego Coppola this summer
Summary

Lazio is reportedly exploring the possibility of acquiring Brighton defender Diego Coppola. The club seeks to strengthen its defense, as players like Alessio Romagnoli and Mario Gila may be leaving. Coppola, who has struggled for playing time at Brighton, spent a loan period at Paris FC and is under contract with Brighton until 2030. Lazio had previously shown interest in him last summer but could not pursue a move due to a transfer ban. Gennaro Gattuso, Lazio's incoming head coach, has shown appreciation for Coppola’s abilities.
