The goal has long been circled in red and written in large letters on the now famous “pizzino” market with all the names you like Cristiano Giuntoli for the summer signing campaign and which will have to give Thiago Motta one Juventus competitive again. This is Teun Koopmeiners for whom, with Atalanta, there is a negotiation at stake which remains very open.
PERCASSI CONFIRM AND GET THE PRICE – Yesterday evening, on the sidelines of the “La notte della C” event at the Milan Triennale, Luca PercassiCEO of the Bergamo club confirmed the openness to negotiations: “Giuntoli? I didn’t see him today. If a phone call comes for Koopmeiners I will answer, as I always do with everyone, God forbid. The market is always unpredictable”.

KOOP MADE IN ITALY – There has already been a call, there will be others in the coming days and weeks with a very specific will which however comes from the player. The midfielder born in 1998 has already announced that his desire is to say goodbye to Atalanta in the summer, provided that satisfactory offers arrive. He has several possibilities on the table away from Italy, especially in the Premier League, but at least for now he has given priority to staying in Serie A.
THE HUIJSEN CARD – Juventus is interested and has been negotiating with Atalanta for some time on the basis of a cash offer that is not too high and in which to insert a high-value technical counterpart that could be useful to the Bergamo club. Sacrificing a young asset to get a player who is ready immediately, but at least until a few days ago the name of the player was not found. After the last day of Serie A, or rather after the Atalanta-Fiorentina recovery, something changed. The serious injury that Scalvini suffered will keep him away from Bergamo for a long time and Gasperini is looking for a high-value defensive reinforcement who can adapt to a three-man defence. And here the profile of Dean Huijsen comes into play, having returned to Juventus after his loan to Romabut expendable in this operation.
A MATTER OF FIGURES – The distance is there, there is no denying it and it is linked to both Atalanta’s assessment of Koopmeiners’ price tag sia to what Juventus does with that of the Dutch center back born in 2005. For the Percassi, their jewel is worth no less than 60 million euros a figure deemed too high by Cristiano Giuntoli who is still working to lower the fixed cost. For the defender, however, the Bianconeri are expecting offers of no less than 30 million euros. The hottest phase of the negotiation passes from here. From figures that, at least for now, are difficult to reconcile.
