Juventus ahead of Liverpool in race for Atalanta star

Midfielder Teun Koopmeiners of Atalanta has attracted the attention of several top clubs with his performances. Interest in the player is being shown by several Premier League and Serie A clubs.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus is ahead of Liverpool in negotiations for Koopmeiners. The 26-year-old Dutchman has instructed his agent, Bart Beving, to negotiate with the Bianconeri, and the parties have found common ground. It is expected that the midfielder will earn around 4.5 million euros per year in Turin.

Now Juventus needs to negotiate with Atalanta, which values the midfielder at over 60 million euros.

In the current season, the midfielder has played 234 matches for Atalanta, scoring 12 goals and providing 4 assists. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2027, and Transfermarkt values the player at 40 million euros.

Last summer, Napoli wanted to sign Koopmeiners, but Atalanta rejected the Neapolitans' offer of 48 million euros.
