Newcastle United and Everton have now entered the race to sign Hellas Verona defender Diego Coppola, adding more competition to an already heated transfer battle.
The 21-year-old centre-back, recently called up to the Italian national team, is attracting growing interest after an impressive Serie A season with Verona.
Diego Coppola made 34 appearances and scored twice, playing a key role in securing the club’s top-flight status.
Now, Ontheminute.com understands Newcastle and Everton are keeping a close eye on the Italy international’s availability this summer.
Coppola is under contract until 2027, and Hellas Verona are reportedly demanding a fee starting at €10 million plus bonuses.
A move in the 2025 summer transfer window would mark his first transfer away from his boyhood club and could be one of Italy’s headline deals this window.
