Atalanta is having a hectic off-season. The club is at the heart of many rumors, both in terms of departures and arrivals. Teun Koopmeiners (26 years old) is indeed on the verge of leaving. We revealed it to you a few days ago, Juventus made offers for the Dutch midfielder, which have so far been refused. This did not please the player, who is now using drastic measures to force his transfer. However, this method does not please Gian Piero Gasperini at all, who expressed his concern about it in front of the press.Koopmeiners has decided to go to Juventus and no longer play or train with us.»
According to him, this coup is a real handicap for the DEA.The club feels blackmailed, that’s why it has adopted a very firm stance. I understand the player’s will just as I understand Atalanta’s attitude. I was counting on Koopmeiners or at least I was hoping that the negotiations would go differently. The fact is that we have lost three very important players (Scalvini and Scamacca are injured, in addition to Koopmeiners’ desire to leave) who take a lot away from the team from a technical point of view.» Atalanta are demanding €60 million for the midfielder, while Juve have so far only offered €45 million.
