Juventus offer unwanted striker to Atalanta in attempt to unlock Koopmeiners operation Juventus will reportedly offer the services of Arkadiusz Milik to Atalanta in their tireless attempts to lure Teun Koopmeiners. The Bianconeri have been chasing the Dutchman for several months, but have yet to reach an agreement with La Dea who are requesting 60 million euros to part ways with their top star. ............ Cristiano Giuntoli and Co are preparing an offer worth 45 million euros in addition to a sell-on fee in case of a future resale. ............ Moreover, Juventus are willing to facilitate Milik’s transfer to Atalanta as an extra incentive. The Europa League winners have been forced to resort to the market in search of a centre-forward following Gianluca Scamacca’s devastating ACL injury. And as it happens, Juventus have the right profile at home, one that’s considered surplus to requirements. ............ So it remains to be seen if this new factor will prove sufficient to reach a happy end in the Koopmeiners tranfer saga.

Market clues suggest Atalanta plan to sell Koopmeiners to Juventus Despite their current defying stance, it appears that Atalanta are expecting Teun Koopmeiners to end up at Juventus before the end of the summer transfer market. ............. The Orobici have named their price at 60 million euros, while Juventus Football Director Cristiano Giuntoli only offered 45 million in his opening bid. But while the gap between the two clubs remains significant, Atalanta seem resigned to losing their star midfielder this summer, at least based on their market operations. As the source explains, the Europa League winners have already signed Nicolo Zaniolo who could fill in for Koopmeiners. And that’s not all, as Atalanta are vigorously pursuing Celtic’s rising star Matt O’Riley. ............. These fresh funds should allow the Old Lady to raise the offer for Koopmeiners. But as the source tells it, Giuntoli doesn’t intend to meet Atalanta’s asking price just yet, but could offer 48 million euros in addition to bonuses.

The midfielder is the next player that Juventus is expected to add to their squad in this transfer window. ............ Atalanta has been reluctant to sell him for as long as possible and has maintained that he is not available for transfer. However, Atalanta seems to be softening its stance on his departure. Its CEO, Luca Percassi, claims that any player who leaves will be replaced. ............ “Koopmeiners? It’s like in the past few days, every now and then it’s good to be repetitive. His transfer is not in our plans. Whoever leaves will be replaced, but today it’s not an emergency, nor a priority.” ............

The third name on the list is Wojciech Szczesny who has become surplus to requirements following Michele Di Gregorio’s arrival. .............

Koopmeiners returns to action for Atalanta as he waits for Juventus Teun Koopmeiners has recovered from the injury that forced him to miss Euro 2024 and played his first game for Atalanta yesterday. The Dutchman has agreed to move to Juventus and continue his career in Turin, but the Bianconeri must agree on a transfer fee with Atalanta before he can leave. ............. He started Atalanta’s game against their U19 side. It was an in-house friendly game that provided an opportunity to assess the players’ fitness levels, and Koopmeiners returned to action. He started and played the first 45 minutes without any problems, which should reassure Juve that he has no fitness issues to worry about. .............

Xavier Jacobelli reckons Juventus target is worth 60 million euros Journalist Xavier Jacobelli has commented on Juventus’ pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. The midfielder is their main target for the summer, and Juve considers him the player who will complete their midfield rebuild. ............ Juve is working to raise the necessary funds, and according to Jacobelli, this fee reflects the quality of the Dutchman and is a fair valuation. “The 60 million euros Atalanta are asking for Koopmeiners is a fair price and the success of the operation will depend on Juventus. On the other hand, the fact that Chiesa and Soulé are on the market means that he is looking for money to sign the Dutchman. Atalanta has a contract with him until 2027, so they are in a strong position.” ............ Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/xavier-jacobelli-reckons-juventus-target-is-worth-60-million-euros/

He said: “Koopmeiners is a key player for Atalanta and his transfer was not foreseen by the club, I am clear, his transfer was never foreseen.” ............

Koopmeiners urging Atalanta to lower asking price as he remains keen on Juventus move Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners is still determined to complete a transfer to Juventus this summer. The Bianconeri have been tracking the Dutchman for months. And despite buying Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram, the 26-year-old would be the icing on the cake. Thiago Motta views him as the ideal candidate to play behind Dusan Vlahovic in his 4-2-3-1 system. ............ Koopmeiners and his entourage are trying to give Juventus a hand in their negotiations with the Orobici. The Netherlands international has already agreed personal terms with the Turin-based giants and is hellbent on making the move to the Allianz Stadium. Koopmeiners and his representatives are urging Atalanta to fulfill their promise from last summer when Napoli came knocking on the door. At the time, La Dea reportedly asked the player to stay in Bergamo for another year while vowing to let him leave in 2024. ............

Juventus has still not tabled an official bid for Koopmeiners There is a strong belief that Teun Koopmeiners’ next club could be Juventus, and Atalanta remains open to a bid from the Bianconeri. ............ They have already signed Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram, and the next midfielder expected to move to the Allianz Stadium is Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutchman is keen on the move, having spoken to Juve about their project last season. Atalanta has no problem selling him to the Old Lady, but they want 60 million euros and have been waiting for offers from Turin. However, despite the speculation, Juventus has still not made an approach to sign the Dutchman yet. ............

Why Juve’s pursuit of Koopmeiners is becoming complicated Juventus could reportedly struggle in their attempts to put the signature of Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners on paper. Long before the summer transfer session started, the Old Lady had identified the Dutchman as their primary target to enhance the quality of the squad. ............ But according to journalist Filippo Bonsignore, the deal is getting increasingly complicated, especially with Atalanta refusing to drop their price. The Turin-based giants started with an opening bid worth 40 million, and could raise their offer to 45M. But the gap remains significant. They also tried to offer the services of Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen but to no avail. The Orobici have already brought in Nicolo Zaniolo as a potential replacement and could be searching for a midfielder with similar characteristics to Koopmeiners. Yet, they don’t intend to offer any discounts on the Netherlands international this summer. ............ The Bianconeri already have an agreement with Koopmeiners over personal terms. He would sign a five-year contract that would see him earn 4.5 million euros per season. Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/why-juves-pursuit-of-koopmeiners-is-becoming-complicated/

Juventus insists on their valuation for Koopmeiners Juventus remains interested in signing Teun Koopmeiners, but there is a good chance they might not secure his transfer. ............ Juve is not the only club interested in the Dutchman, leading Atalanta to value him at 60 million euros. This is a hefty fee, and Juve believes he is overrated at that price. The Bianconeri are willing to pay 40 million euros, which they believe is a fair price for his signature. However, Atalanta is unlikely to engage in talks at that offer, and it is difficult to see both clubs reaching an agreement. ............

Alessio Tacchinardi insists Juventus cannot miss out on Koopmeiners Juventus remains in contention for Teun Koopmeiners, but they are encountering difficulties in finalising the deal for the Dutch midfielder. Koopmeiners has been a target for Juventus since last season and has expressed a desire to join the club. ............ Juventus is on the verge of confirming Douglas Luiz’s arrival and views Koopmeiners as an ideal partner for the Brazilian midfielder. Former Juventus player Alessio Tacchinardi has emphasised the importance of securing Koopmeiners’ signing. ............ “In my opinion, Koopmeiners should be taken at all costs, no one in the squad has the characteristics of him. Throughout the season he has demonstrated his worth. I can’t tell you if with the three elements mentioned above the team would be able to win the championship, the quality would certainly increase, but something would still be missing in the middle of the field and on the attacking flanks. There is a need for a player with personality, I hope Koopmeiners is one. Maybe Thiago Motta, like in Bologna, manages to enhance players who are certainly not of great value.” ............

Balzarini reveals why Atalanta has not taken Juventus seriously on Koopmeiners Juventus remains keen on signing Teun Koopmeiners, and fans had expected them to sign the Dutchman before Douglas Luiz. However, their efforts to land Luiz are making greater progress, and they could soon announce his arrival in Turin. The Brazilian’s arrival does not mean Juve has abandoned their interest in Koopmeiners, but it also does not guarantee they can win the race for the Dutchman’s signature. ............ Atalanta has not taken the Bianconeri seriously because they do not want any players involved in the exchange for the midfielder. They are looking for 60 million euros and are holding out for a cash-only transfer. ............

Signing Douglas Luiz will not stop Juventus’ pursuit of Koopmeiners Juventus is nearing an agreement to sign Douglas Luiz this summer as Aston Villa prepares to allow him to depart in exchange for two Juventus players. ............. Juve’s strategy to acquire Luiz while retaining Adrien Rabiot appears to be a robust move for the summer transfer window. However, they are also keen on adding Teun Koopmeiners to bolster their midfield. Despite their focus on Luiz, their pursuit of Luiz does not diminish their interest in Koopmeiners. The Bianconeri remain committed to signing the Atalanta star, handling each deal one at a time. .............

Pavan warns Atalanta about missing out on selling Koopmeiners to Juventus Juventus wants to sign Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners, but La Dea is playing hardball over the Dutchman’s signature. ............. Atalanta wants to make 60 million euros from his sale, a fee Juve thinks is ridiculous, and now the midfielder is injured. La Dea could have earned more if he had done well at Euro 2024, but he won’t participate in the competition. Pavan warns Atalanta against playing hardball because they might struggle to sell him. He said: “Atalanta risks scoring an own goal for Koopmeiners. If they don’t lower their rating they risk having a dissatisfied and now injured player who is unlikely to do better than this year next year in Bergamo, Juventus can put in 25 cash and the rest in return, a valuation of 45/50 million, a hyper-acceptable and coherent figure, the rest would be a robbery”. .............

Why Atalanta is not in a hurry to cash in on Koopmeiners Teun Koopmeiners is almost certain to leave Atalanta before next season begins, and Juventus wants to secure his signature. The Dutchman has enjoyed life in Serie A since joining La Dea, which could make him inclined to stay in Italy. This gives Juventus an advantage in signing him. Bianconeri sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is a huge fan of the midfielder, who is one of Atalanta’s most productive players. ........... Atalanta knows top clubs want the former AZ Alkmaar star, and they will likely sell him this summer, but they want to secure a significant fee from his departure. Atalanta is not in a hurry and is waiting until the end of the Euros, which could increase his value. The report claims Koopmeiners could cost up to 70 million euros if he performs well at Euro 2024, as Juventus will face even more competition for his signature. ............

Pavan insists Koopmeiners is not worth 60 million euros amidst Juventus interest Massimo Pavan has discussed Juventus’ interest in Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, highlighting the challenges the Bianconeri face in signing him. ........... La Dea wants to maximise their profit before letting him go and has set a price of 60 million euros. Juventus is willing to pay 40 million euros, but Atalanta believes this offer is insufficient. They are open to his departure, but only for the right price, a valuation with which Pavan disagrees. ............ “Juventus has a limited budget, they won’t give away resources but they can make a good transfer, Koopmeiners is strong but it’s not worth 60 million, it’s worth 40, then we can discuss the technical compensation.” ............

The Netherlands international is ready to sign a five-year contract with a net salary of 4.5 million euros per year.

Atalanta ask for two Juventus young jewels in exchange for Koopmeiners Juventus may have to give up two of their finest youngsters in their quest to sign Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners. The Bianconeri have long identified the 26-year-old as their primary target to bolster the middle of the park. But in what was a sensational campaign for the Dutchman, his market value kept rising with every thrilling display, eventually reaching 60 million euros. ................. Dean Huijsen has been proposed as a possible counterpart. The Spain U21 international spent the second half of the season on loan at Roma, managing to impress at times. However, the teenage centre-back isn’t the only Bianconeri youngster that intrigues Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The Europa League winners also admire Matias Soulé. The 21-year-old cemented himself as one of the main revelations of the Serie A season while on loan at Frosinone, even though the campaign ended with his team’s heartbreaking relegation. Therefore, the source believes contacts between the two clubs are ongoing, but the negotiations won’t be easy due to the cost of the operation and stern competition. .................

Juventus make positive contacts for Koopmeiners, but agreement with Atalanta remains distant Juventus are reportedly making progress in their talks with Teun Koopmeiners, but finding an accord with Atalanta remains the main hurdle. The Bianconeri have long identified the Dutchman as their primary target to enhance the middle of the park. ............. Juventus have reportedly prepared Koopmeiners a five-year contract, with a yearly net salary of 4.5 million euros. However, Atalanta remain stubborn in their requests. The Oribici aren’t willing to part ways with their prized asset for anything less than 60 million euros. For their part, Juve aren’t willing to splash a figure above 45 million, but instead, they plan to offer players in exchange in order to meet La Dea’s valuation. The source claims the Old Lady offered Fabio Miretti as an exchange pawn, but Atalanta weren’t interested in the young midfielder. Hence, the Turin-based giants might have to raise the bar by inserting either Dean Huijsen or Matias Soulé in the operation. .............

Di Marzio on Motta’s Juventus project – Koopmeiners in, Chiesa out? Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims Federico Chiesa may not be a part of Thiago Motta’s plans at Juventus. The Bianconeri are preparing to appoint the Italo-Brazilian manager as their new coach after parting ways with Max Allegri. The 41-year-old has already announced his departure from Bologna. This arrival would spark the beginning of a new project that will include a host of changes in personnel. ............. “Juventus wants Koopmeiners. Then I don’t know if Gasperini will chain himself to Zingonia to prevent the player’s departure,” said Di Marzio during his appearance on Sky Sport Italia. “Juventus has offered 40 million euros plus 5M as bonuses. Atalanta is aking for 60 million.” ............. “Rabiot is at the center of Motta’s project, then we will have to see whether he will renew it or not. “Locatelli was not called up for Euro 2024 and is not indispensable for Spalletti, but he is indispensable for Motta. “He wants to build on Locatelli and Bremer with Calafiori as well if he manages to get him. He’s also a big fan of Cambiaso. ............. “Motta doesn’t dote on Chiesa, he’s not his first choice. If we’re going to envision the coach’s starting lineup at Juventus, Federico won’t be included. “But then again, when you coach the player in training, you can always change your mind, so let’s see.” Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/di-marzio-on-mottas-juventus-project-koopmeiners-in-chiesa-out/

Koopmeiners has been linked heavily with a transfer to Liverpool or Juventus in the summer, so will he remain and play for Atalanta in the Champions League? “I am very happy at Atalanta, I am only thinking about this trophy and I don’t know what will happen next season. We’ll see.” If the Dutch international is to be sold at the end of the season, then he is bound to command a price close to €60m after improving so much under Gasperini’s tutelage.

Koopmeiners open to Juventus move – Bianconeri could offer two youngsters to Atalanta Atalanta midfielder Teun Koompeiners has reportedly expressed his openness to join Juventus in the summer. The 26-year-old has emerged as the Old Lady’s primary transfer target to bolster the middle of the park. In a recent interview, the Dutchman revealed that he has already asked Atalanta permission to leave the club in the summer, while explicitly mentioning Juventus as a suitor. ............ The Bianconeri would reportedly offer him a five-year contract with a net salary between 4 and 5 million euros in addition to bonuses. This would be a major upgrade on his current Atalanta wages, estimated at 1.5M. Nevertheless, the main hurdle for Juve remains reaching an agreement with Atalanta who have set their asking price at 60 million euros. ............ Therefore, the management will be looking to lower the cost of the operation by throwing in two youngsters as exchange pawns. The first is Matias Soulé, currently who has been impressing at Frosinone this season. The 20-year-old winger’s value could be estimated at around 25 million euros. The other is 18-year-old Dean Huijsen who joined Roma on loan in January. The source predicts his value somewhere between 10 and 15 million. ............
