The Dutch midfielder is likely to draw plenty of interest from big clubs all around Europe ? and Atalanta know it. At this point, Juventus being interested in signing Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners this coming summer is no real surprise to anybody. The Italian press has already gone so far to say that the 25-year-old Dutchman has already been tapped as the Bianconeri?s top choice when it comes to summer targets ? something that would certainly come with a big-time price tag.
And staying in Italy may well be Koopmeiners? preference, too.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday, Koopmeiners is very much open to a move to Juventus because it would mean that he would be able to stay in Italy rather than moving to a new country and a new league for the second time in four years. Koopmeiners, who joined Atalanta from AZ Alkmaar in 2021, has been linked with Juventus dating back to the summer transfer window a year ago, but with some big changes potentially coming to Juve?s midfield, it is this Dutchman who is thought of to be the one that Cristiano Giuntoli will center his focus on a few months from now. The biggest obstacle for Juventus could very well prove to be the price tag for Koopmeiners, who will almost certainly cost more than the ?40 million that Atalanta reportedly wanted for him a summer ago.
