A crucial and potentially decisive meeting took place yesterday between Atalanta and Juventus to discuss the future of Teun Koopmeiners. The Dutch midfielder, who has been a top target for Juventus, has found himself sidelined at Atalanta. This situation was underscored by the stern comments from Atalanta’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, who revealed that Koopmeiners has sent a medical certificate to the club and is no longer training with the team. Consequently, he will not be part of the squad for the upcoming UEFA Super Cup match against Real Madrid.
Calciomercato report that the meeting between the two clubs appears to have eased recent tensions and could resolve one of the most intriguing transfer sagas of the summer. Juventus now has a real opportunity to finalize the deal and deliver Thiago Motta his primary summer target.
The financial terms of the agreement are nearing completion, with Juventus expected to secure Koopmeiners for a fee exceeding €55 million, including bonuses. This move brings Juventus closer to adding a top-tier reinforcement to their midfield, which they hope to have available for their Serie A opener against Como on August 19.
As the transfer window progresses, Juventus is eager to wrap up this deal, ensuring that Koopmeiners can integrate with the team ahead of the new season.
