JAKARTA - Juventus is not certain to recruit midfielder Atalanta Teun Koopmeiners. Atalanya coach Gian Piero Gasperini revealed that there were no clubs, including Juve, who made an offer to buy Koopmeiners.

Juve just threw a discourse on recruiting Koopmeiners. The reason is, the Italian Serie A giant never made an offer to Atalanta.

Atalanta openly stated that no club had ever bid on its players. Gasperini was quoted as saying by Sky Sports that his party had never negotiated with Koopmeiners.

"We never talked to any club about him [Koopmeiners]. Since the end of Euro 2024 until he returned to the club there has been no talk whatsoever," said Gasperini.

Gasperini also expressed the disappointment of his players failing to strengthen the Netherlands at Euro 2024. Because of this, he was injured despite playing for Atalanta until the end of the season. Koopmeiners also appeared in the Europa League final by beating Bayer Leverkusen 3-0.

"Of course it was a disappointing thing just because of the minor injuries he suffered before Euro 2024, he failed to get a Dutch national team call," said Gasperini.

"He underwent good treatment during this summer holidays. He has recovered and is training again. He is ready to play again," he said.

Juve was busy conveying his desire to bring Koopmeiners. The club shows interest in recruiting this 26-year-old player.

However, the Bianconeri have never made a concrete offer. Moreover, the club will first release a number of players who rarely play before signing Koopmeiners.

In addition, the player's price is quite expensive. Koopmeiners are actually the pillar of La Dea's strength.

However, the club does not mind selling him if someone proposes a price of 60 million euros.

The price seems to be too expensive for Juve. In order to lower prices, Juve offered a number of players as part of the purchase of Koopmeiners. But Atalanta turned down an offer from La Vecchia hala.
