Italian champions Juventus have made the first move to sign highly-rated Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta. The Old Lady is believed to be keen on strengthening their midfield and has identified 22-year-old Koopmeiners as a key target for next season’s campaign. According to reports, Juventus has tabled an initial offer of €25 million plus add-ons for the talented midfielder. This would be significantly lower than Atalanta’s asking price of around €40 million. However, it is understood that Atalanta may consider negotiating on their valuation if they believe Koopmeiners will leave for a higher fee elsewhere in the summer transfer window. Juventus has been monitoring Koopmeiners’ progress all season and sees him as a potential long-term replacement for the experienced trio of Weston McKennie, Aaron Ramsey, and Adrien Rabiot. The Dutch international has enjoyed an impressive first season in Italy, registering 5 goals and 4 assists from central midfield. His impressive form has led to increased interest from top clubs across Europe, with several Premier League outfits also showing interest in securing his services.
