Football Italia transfer specialist Matteo Moretto reports that Teun Koopmeiners’ primary goal is to continue playing in Serie A, but Atalanta is prepared to sell the Dutch standout to the highest bidder, meaning Juventus may face stiff competition from Premier League clubs.

According to Moretto’s latest transfer analysis for Caught Offside’s Daily Briefing, Atalanta midfielder Koopmeiners is keen on extending his stay in Serie A for the 2024-25 season, even amidst interest from various clubs, including those outside Italy.

Moretto asserts that Serie A powerhouse Juventus appears to be the most eager suitor for Koopmeiners and has been actively pursuing the deal for a longer period compared to other contenders.

Numerous reports from both Italy and England suggest that Liverpool is also eyeing Koopmeiners, and Moretto confirms that several Premier League clubs have expressed interest in the Netherlands international.

The Italian transfer expert clarifies that Atalanta will only engage in formal negotiations with interested parties at the conclusion of the season, as they are currently focused on achieving their on-field objectives, including Champions League qualification and success in the Europa League and Coppa Italia.

Given Atalanta’s stable financial position, it is improbable that they will lower their asking price for Koopmeiners, meaning potential suitors must be prepared to meet their valuation during the summer transfer window.
