Davide Veroli loaned to Südtirol as Cagliari targets defender Raphael Kofler

Davide Veroli will not re‑join Sampdoria. Director Pietro Accardi arranged a loan move for the 23‑year‑old left‑back to FC Südtirol in Bolzano, with an option to purchase under specified conditions. The deal is linked to a separate transaction in which Südtirol will transfer defender Raphael Kofler to Cagliari for a reported €3 million.

Both clubs see the linked moves as a way to address squad needs: Cagliari aims to strengthen its defensive line, while Südtirol secures a young left‑back and a fee from the Kofler sale. Veroli has been training separately from Sampdoria’s squad and is expected to join Südtirol promptly.
