Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has been left out of Atalanta’s squad for the UEFA Super Cup final against Real Madrid in Warsaw. This decision signals his marginalization within the club following his push to transfer to Juventus. Koopmeiners has reportedly sent a medical certificate to Atalanta to facilitate his move, having already agreed to personal terms with Juventus for a contract worth €4.5 million net per season.
Calciomercato report that the ongoing negotiations between Atalanta and Juventus have been tense, with Atalanta demanding €60 million for the midfielder’s transfer. Juventus has offered €55 million, including bonuses, but the clubs have yet to finalize the deal. Atalanta is keen to resolve the situation quickly, as they seek to secure a replacement, with Matt O’Riley from Celtic Glasgow being a potential candidate.
Juventus are also under pressure to generate funds for this significant financial commitment, looking to offload several players. Despite the challenges, both clubs are eager to conclude the transfer, with Atalanta issuing an ultimatum for the deal to be completed by mid-August. The situation remains fluid, with Koopmeiners determined to join the Bianconeri and Juventus keen to bolster their midfield with his signing.
