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.” ............

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. ............

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.

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. ............

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. ............

Atalanta CEO insists they do not have plans to sell Koopmeiners

 

 

Most football fans expect Teun Koopmeiners to move to Juventus this summer from Atalanta as Juve looks to raise funds to add him to their squad.

 

The Bianconeri have been following the Dutchman since last season and have decided he is the main man to add to their team. ............

 

Atalanta are planning for the future with him after securing a return to the Champions League, and their CEO, Luca Percassi, insists it has never been their plan to sell him.

 

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.” ............

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.” ............

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. .............

Juventus planning five sales to finance Koopmeiners move – The list revealed

 

 

Juventus are looking to sell five of their players in order to raise funds for their transfer targets, and chief among them is Teun Koopmeiners. .............

 

The management has listed five players who must be sold to finance the Koopmeiners operation.

 

The first name on the list is Matias Soulé who can generate the biggest transfer fee. Juventus are refusing to sell the Argentine for anything less than 35 million euros despite Roma’s vigorous attempts.

 

Then we have Dean Huijsen who could yield a figure worth 25 million euros.  .............

 

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

 

Mattia De Sciglio and Daniele Rugani are now considered among the deadwood and will have to find new accommodations. Bologna are reportedly interested in the centre-back, while the versatile fullback has been recently linked with Monza.

Atalanta’s CEO appears to soften their stance on Koopmeiners transfer

 

Atalanta is softening its stance on the potential departure of Teun Koopmeiners this summer.

 

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.” ............

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.

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.

Why Juventus is struggling to sign Todibo and Koopmeiners

 

 

The two players Juventus are likely to sign before the transfer window closes are Teun Koopmeiners and Jean-Clair Todibo.

 

The Bianconeri are keen on both players and are looking to finalise deals for them as soon as possible. ............

 

Todibo’s move is closely linked to that of Koopmeiners because the less money they spend on signing Koopmeiners, the more cash they will have left to secure Todibo.

 

The report claims Juve will definitely sign Todibo on a loan-to-buy agreement. However, they must pay an initial loan fee, and that amount will impact their budget for Koopmeiners.

 

As soon as they can complete the move for the defender, they will then make a move for Koopmeiners. ............

Koopmeiners goes on strike to force through Juventus move

 

 

Juventus has received a boost in their bid to sign Teun Koopmeiners after the player informed Atalanta that he no longer wants to play for or train with them.

 

Juventus and Koopmeiners have had an agreement on personal terms for months now, and the Dutchman is committed to playing for the Bianconeri this season.

 

Despite this, Koopmeiners has been professional throughout pre-season, even participating in several matches for La Dea. ............

 

However, La Dea had expected Koopmeiners to remain available for selection until Juventus completed their move for him.

 

The midfielder has now changed his mind and Gian Piero Gasperini has confirmed that Koopmeiners no longer wants to play for the club.

 

 “Koopmeiners already has an agreement with Juve, doesn’t want to train with us. He’s stressed, he says.

 

“He won’t play anymore and will stay out. ............

Juventus prepares to make improved bid for Koopmeiners

 

 

Juventus is set to make an improved bid for Teun Koopmeiners as the Bianconeri aim to conclude the transfer saga swiftly.

 

Atalanta had initially stated that the Dutch midfielder was not available for transfer, but after Koopmeiners reportedly went on strike to force the move, the club is now looking to finalise a deal quickly. ............

 

Juventus is now ready to offer €55 million, including add-ons, for Koopmeiners. This figure is close to Atalanta’s valuation of €60 million for the Dutch midfielder.

 

Juventus hopes that this offer will be sufficient to finalise the deal, as they wish to avoid further delays or complications in strengthening their squad. ............

Juventus & Atalanta clear the air in positive Koopmeiners meeting

 

 

Juventus and Atalanta reportedly held a positive summit on Sunday to resolve the recent controversy surrounding the Teun Koopmeiners affair.

 

The Bianconeri have been pursuing the Dutchman for quite some time now and even managed to find an agreement with his entourage over personal terms.

 

However, the Old Lady’s offers remain short of Atalanta’s asking price which is set at 60 million euros. ............

 

Atalanta made it clear that they have no issues with Juventus, but they would have preferred a different behavior from the player over the past few weeks.

 

So now it’s up to Juve to forge an offer that meets Atalanta’s asking price, or at the very least, comes close to it.

 

This could be a transfer fee of 50 million euros plus add-ons that can lift the sum to a figure close to 60 million. ............

Juventus and Atalanta have Koopmeiners agreement

 

 

Juventus and Atalanta have already reached an agreement for Teun Koopmeiners’ move to Turin, but La Dea must sign a replacement before giving the green light.

 

Dutch midfielder Koopmeiners is on the verge of joining Juventus in a €55m deal. .............

 

Gasperini’s side are close to signing Marco Brescianini from Frosinone, but Celtic’s talent Matt O’Riley has been identified as the ideal replacement for Koop.

 

Once and if the Danish midfielder moves to Bergamo, Koopmeiners will be allowed to join Juventus.

Juve hopes to complete the transfer sooner rather than later, and the Bianconeri aim to sign him before their match against Como.

 

The club wants to finalise the deal this week, ahead of their new campaign’s start against the newly promoted side on August 19th. ............

Koopmeiners presents another medical certificate as he waits for Juventus transfer

 

 

Teun Koopmeiners remains determined to leave Atalanta and is pushing for a move to Juventus.

 

The Dutch midfielder has been on strike for at least a week, having submitted a medical certificate claiming he is unfit to train or play for Atalanta.

 

La Dea is frustrated with his actions but remains firm in their stance that they won’t sell him for less than their asking price. .............

 

However, the first medical certificate Koopmeiners submitted has expired, and he has now sent a new one in.

 

He continues to insist that he is unfit to train or play for Atalanta, as he remains focused on forcing a move to Juventus, who are eager to add him to Thiago Motta’s squad. .............

Atalanta wants to keep Koopmeiners and their delay tactic could work in their favour

 

 

Juventus’ biggest obstacle in their pursuit of Teun Koopmeiners may not be a competing club, but Atalanta themselves.

 

La Dea is fully aware of the value they hold in the Dutch midfielder and remain determined to keep him despite Juventus’ persistent interest. Juve has been tracking Koopmeiners since last season, with their intention to sign him being one of the worst-kept secrets in Italian football.

 

Koopmeiners is reportedly eager to make the move to Turin and has been taking steps to push through the transfer. He is currently in a self-imposed medical exile from the team. ............

 

Despite Koopmeiners’ desire to leave, Atalanta views him as a crucial part of their team and is reluctant to let him go. The delay in responding to Juventus’ offer appears to be partly due to their hope of convincing him to stay. ............

Every word from Koopmeiners first Juventus interview: ‘I’m here to win things’

 

 

New Juventus signing Teun Koopmeiners has explained that he wants to be part of a successful, winning, attack-minded team after officially completing his transfer from Atalanta on Wednesday evening. 

 

Koopmeiners officially joined Juventus in a permanent deal from Atalanta on Wednesday evening at a total cost of €60.7m including add-ons and bonuses. 

 

 

“I’m really happy to be here. It’s been a dream of mine for a long time. I’m really, really happy,” he said in his first interview with the club. 

 

“For me Juventus is the biggest club in Italy. Everything I have seen from the club and the squad is beautiful; the jersey, too. With the way the team play, with the history, the club are the best in Italy for me. 

 

“As I said, I’m really happy to be here and to play with these players and for this coach, I’m really pleased.” ............

 

“I saw both games,” Koopmeiners said. “I’m really happy that we got six points, and that we’re top of the league. I’m also happy because it’s clearly a team that wants to attack. The team has scored six goals, so it’s a really good start.” 

 

Describing his best qualities as a player, the Dutchman added: “I like scoring goals for the team, making assists as well of course. I want to do anything I can to help the team, even in defence. I like to run and play at a high tempo. I’m here to win things with this club. ............

Why Koopmeiners chose no.8 shirt for Juventus

 

 ............

 

During his first interview, the 26-year-old explained why the no.8 shirt is so important to him. 

 

“It’s a really important number for me. I wore it all the time when I was a youngster. I also wore it at my first club in Holland. 

 

“I told Juventus that it’s a really important number for me, and they said I could have it.” 

 

The Juventus no.8 shirt has been left vacant since the departure of former Wales international Aaron Ramsey. 

 

The most famous player to wear the shirt in the 21st century was Italy international Marchisio, who kept the same number for nine years between 2009 and 2018. ............
