Despite Liverpool’s acquisitions of four midfielders during the last summer transfer window, they remain strongly linked with Teun Koopmeiners to further bolster their midfield options.
According to recent reports from Italy, Liverpool is positioned favorably to secure the versatile midfielder from Atalanta.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport’s (news image below) latest update suggests that Juventus is eyeing Koopmeiners as their main target for the upcoming summer transfer window. However, Liverpool stands at the forefront of potential suitors in the Premier League.
Koopmeiners, a Dutch international, has a contract with Atalanta running until 2027. Reports indicate that Atalanta has set a base price of £51.4 million (60 million euros) for the midfielder, but they might consider lower offers, potentially dropping to 50 million euros if there is no significant bidding competition.
The 26-year-old Koopmeiners is recognized for his versatility, capable of operating effectively in both defensive and attacking midfield roles. In the current season, Liverpool’s leading midfield scorers are Curtis Jones and summer signing Dominik Szoboszlai, each with five goals. Meanwhile, Koopmeiners, primarily deployed as a No. 10, has showcased his scoring prowess with 10 goals and 4 assists in 29 starts across all competitions for Atalanta.
Considering Liverpool’s midfield needs and Koopmeiners’ impressive performance, the question arises: should Liverpool make a £51.4 million offer to secure Teun Koopmeiners in the upcoming summer transfer window?
