"It's a 50-50 situation," he said. "Copps might be one player but we really enjoy working with him.

"There's a World Cup upcoming but I'm quite sure in the future he will be a big player for us.

"But we have to analyse what is best for the club and the individual development for the player."

Italy face a World Cup semifinal playoff against Northern Ireland in March.
