JAKARTA - Playmaker Atalanta Teun Koopmeiners is one of the players contested by many clubs. Juventus competed with Liverpool to attract this Dutch national team player. But Juve is the one who has the opportunity to get it.

Koopmeiners is one of the top playmakers in the Italian Serie A. He has been the mainstay of coach Gian Piero Gasperini since being recruited from the Dutch Emedivisie AZ club in 2021.

This season, Koopmeiners have scored 12 goals and made four assists during 34 leaders with Atalanta in various competitions. He is also the key to the creativity of La Dea's game.

The brilliant performance of this 26-year-old player was also shown in the Oranje team. This is what makes Koopmeiners targeted by many clubs. Moreover, it is said that it is time for him to play in the big Italian club.

But so far Juve are at the forefront of the Koopmeiners hunt. Juve hopes to find a player who can be a playmaker in the team.

Sporting Director Juve Cristiano Giuntoli plans to hunt down players in the summer transfer window. The Bianconeri squad will be updated after reaping bad results in this season's competition.

Juve, who are currently ranked third, finds it difficult to compete with Inter Milan in the hunt for the Scudetto. With 59 points, Juve are 17 points behind Inter who are at the top of the standings.

In addition, The Old Lady lost midfielder Paul Pogba to a ban on playing for using illegal drugs for athletes. Juve also needs to add new players.

According to Tuttosport, Juve is one step ahead of Liverpool. The club has opened negotiations with player representatives. Koopmeiners are interested in joining Juve.

Even Koopmeiners has specifically asked its agent, Bart Baving, to find a way to reach an agreement with Juve.

One of them is a salary agreement of 4.5 million euros or 76 billion rupiahs clean per year.

Negotiations with players do not seem to be a problem. The problem is, Atalanta has set a fairly high price, which is 60 million euros. This is clearly an expensive price for Juve because the club is indeed saving money.
