Giorgio Dusi names three Premier League clubs including Liverpool who want Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners
Liverpool are in the race to sign Atalanta’s standout midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, competing with Premier League rivals Arsenal, Tottenham, and Serie A giants Juventus.
Renowned Italian journalist Giorgio Dusi reports Liverpool’s keen interest in Koopmeiners, who’s had a significant impact at Atalanta and is open to a new challenge.
Liverpool face stiff competition to secure his signature amidst speculation of a summer move. Koopmeiners’ potential addition to Liverpool’s squad is seen as a strategic move to bolster their midfield options.
The Dutch international, known for his tactical versatility, exceptional passing, and leadership on the field, has emerged as one of the most sought-after players in European football.
Koopmeiners, who has been instrumental in Atalanta’s impressive performances in Serie A and the Champions League, has reportedly caught the attention of Liverpool’s scouting department, which is keen on bolstering the Reds’ midfield options ahead of the upcoming season.
Speaking about the 26-year-old’s situation, here is what Giorgio Dusi had to say about Koopmeiner’s future, via TVPlay
“Koopmeiners? A bit everyone expects him to leave Atalanta at the end of the season, so his statements from the Netherlands’ retreat didn’t surprise too much. Atalanta only wants the money to sell him so they will accept the highest offer. Juve is the number one candidate but the payment issue must be paid attention to. Maybe some players that Atalanta like like Iling Jr or Soulé could be included. Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool are also interested. The value? Around 60-65 million euros.”
The allure of Koopmeiners stems not only from his on-field prowess but also from his leadership qualities. As a captain at a relatively young age, he has demonstrated maturity beyond his years, guiding Atalanta through the highs and lows of competitive football.
His ability to play both in defence and in a more attacking midfield role adds a layer of tactical flexibility that the new Liverpool manager could find invaluable, especially in the high-pressure environments of the Premier League and the Champions League.
