Diego Coppola could be set for a new club as active negotiations between Girona and Brighton are ongoing over a potential transfer - with multiple reliable sources confirming the story. The defender is seen as the perfect addition to their squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. Valencia are reportedly waiting in the wings. Finalising a fee and payment terms remains central to closing the transfer. So far in this season, Girona are conceding 1.79 goals a game (34 in 19), more than they'd like compared to the LaLiga standard. The hope is Diego Coppola adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Brighton have also been linked with Othmane Maamma and Pascal Gross while Girona are reportedly monitoring Fran Beltran, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal Casas.
