The 22-year-old has struggled to break back into the Venezia first team following an injury, and has made just five appearances for the club.
Hull vice-chairman Tan Kesler confirmed on Monday that a deal for Connolly is nearing completion, and could be done ahead of Saturday’s FA Cup third round meeting with Fulham.
“If that gets done, we will make it happen. It’s more or less been agreed with the player and Brighton.”
Meanwhile, Drogheda United goalkeeper Fiachra Pagel has completed his move to League One Forest Green Rovers.
Pagel, 18, will remain at Drogheda on loan for the opening months of the new League of Ireland First Division season before linking up with Forest Green in July.
