By coming out publicly declaring his desire to leave Atalanta, Teun Koopmeiners has strengthened his candidacy as the transfer market man for the summer of 2024 in Serie A, with Juventus largely leading the way in trying to secure him. The Nerazzurri club, for its part, does not feel under pressure and is not even in a hurry to close a transfer. In short, he wants to set his own conditions in the negotiation. Also because “our fortune today is that of being a healthy society” and “we have never let ourselves be influenced by anything”.
Luca Percassi, Nerazzurri CEO, clarified the situation of the number 7 to the Eco di Bergamo, first of all postponing any discussion until after 26 May, the date of the last day of the championship, “because as long as he is in the running (and at the moment there are three fronts on which the Goddess fights, ed) Atalanta has never dealt with any of its players and will not make decisions even on the first day of the transfer market.”
A price tag appears to be already indicatively set and would not move away from 55-60 million euros, also subject to possible variations given that, if it is true that goals matter, those scored in the last two months of the seasons count more – without forgetting that there is also a European Championship on the horizon. Monetizing to the maximum and immediately therefore remains the priority – “Last summer we rejected a very significant offer” underlined Percassi referring to the almost 40 million proposed by Napoli – but it goes without saying that the Bergamo philosophy naturally leads us to observe with enormous attention the potential technical counterparts in a possible negotiating table at which we could sit with Juventus, albeit with our antennas upright in case an auction were to be triggered which also involves the Premier League clubs (United and Liverpool above all).
