The deals effectively made Siena paid Genoa €500,000 cash and 50% registration rights of Forestieri to acquire 50% registration rights of Coppola and Ghezzal from Genoa and Genoa paid Crotone €2M cash for Ghezzal .

Coppola only able to play 15 games in 2008–09 Serie A. In June 2009 Siena signed Coppola outright for another €1.5 million and also signed Gianluca Pegolo for €1 million (a year before a free agent). Co-currently, Siena sold Houssine Kharja to Genoa for €6.5 million. The deals, again effectively made Genoa acquired Kharja for €4 million cash plus 50% registration rights of Coppola and Pegolo. However Coppola was involved in another player swap.

Parma

Coppola moved to Parma on 1 July 2009 for €3 million[7] (plus €250,000 other fee[8]), in 5-year contract.[8] In June 2009 Parma also signed Daniele Galloppa (in co-ownership for €5M[9]); Parma sold Francesco Parravicini (€2.5M[9] ) and Reginaldo (50% rights for €2.5 million[9]) to Siena in June. The deals, again effectively made Parma acquired 50% registration rights of Galloppa and full rights of Coppola for €3 million cash plus full rights of Parravicini and 50% registration rights of Reginaldo from Siena. (In 2011 Parma gave Ângelo to Siena for €2.5M, who a year before a free agent, and another 50% of Reginaldo to Siena for €2.5M, to acquire the remain 50% of Galloppa for €5M)[10]

In summer 2010 Coppola left for U.S. Lecce in temporary deal for €400,000, however the loan contract also included a bonus deal that Parma paid Lecce €600,000 as premi di valorizzazione, effectively made Parma had to subsidy the loan deal for €200,000 cash.[10]

On 23 July 2014 Coppola signed a 1-year contract with Serie A newcomer Cesena.[18]

Catania

Ternana

On 27 August 2015 Coppolla was signed by Serie B club Ternana Calcio in a 1-year deal.[20][21]

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The club swapped Coppola (€1.6M), Alberto Galuppo (€1.7M) and Abdou Doumbia (€0.5M) with Andrea Rossi (€1.8M), Alessandro Iacobucci (€1.7M) and Giuseppe Pacini (€0.5M), all in co-ownership deal.[13] However none of the Parma new signing actually plays for the club and neither Galuppo and Doumbia did, for Siena. Coppola himself left Siena on 24 January 2013, to Cesena.[14] However in accounting, Siena received a notional selling profit on Rossi (€3,592,198), Iacobucci (€3,394,779), Pacini (€1M)[13][15] as well as on Parma side (selling profit on Coppola (€1,311,000), Doumbia (€968,800) and Galuppo (€2.4 million)[12]). Moreover, despite Parma paid €200,000 cash to Siena in June, in July Siena signed Paolo Hernán Dellafiore for €1.8M in co-ownership deal and sold Gonçalo Brandão to Parma for €1.6M also in co-ownership deal,[13] made the deals were purely player swap in summer transfer window, as well as the increase in company asset as player selling profit was in fact increase in cost on purchase players, which would increase the amortization expense in the future seasons. (player contract was capitalized as a capital: intangible assets)
