Juventus are stepping up their efforts to secure the signing of Teun Koopmeiners, who remains the club’s top transfer target. Thiago Motta views the Dutch midfielder as the ideal addition to build his project at Juventus. As reported by Tuttosport, Koopmeiners is expected to be a central figure in Motta’s lineup, potentially playing as an attacking midfielder in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-2-1 formation. There will certainly be room for the 1998-born player.
The timing and method of acquiring Koopmeiners are closely linked to outgoing transfers. The first two players likely to leave Turin are Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen. Their departures are expected to generate significant funds, which Cristiano Giuntoli can then use to make a decisive move for Koopmeiners.
Atalanta has set a firm price of €60 million for Koopmeiners. Currently, Juventus has offered €45 million, but if the sales of Soulé and Huijsen bring in fresh funds, the gap between the offer and Atalanta’s asking price could narrow significantly. This is the scenario Thiago Motta is hoping for.
