Turin, 7 May 2024 – Teun Koopmeiners continues to amaze, score fantastic goals and raise his price. The Dutchman will almost certainly leave Atalanta at the end of the season and the Juventus has been following him for some time, but these performances will trigger an auction and the Premier League certainly has more money to spend than Italy. A big problem for Juve who will have to face competition from Liverpool, today favorite for the former Az Alkmaar player fresh from his twelfth goal in Serie A with the goal in Salerno. A Dutchman hasn’t scored so much in Serie A since Gullit.
Koopmeiners over 60 million
Teun Koopmeiners at 12 goals in Serie A, equaled by a great Dutchman like Ruud Gullit which reached the same figure in 1994/1995. Since then no Orange had scored so much and Koop still has four games to improve his tally, also considering the recovery with the Florentine. These data are an additional problem for Juve, who had put the Atalanta midfielder at the top of their wish list, together with Lewis Ferguson, but now the costs are rising copiously and the Juventus budgets do not allow for too expensive operations. The groove is that of sustainability and today Koopmeiners it costs 60 million euros, perhaps more, and there are also rich Premier League clubs ready to invest. One above all Liverpool. Participating in auctions with English clubs is practically impossible, not only for Juve but for every Italian club, and these prices risk being unaffordable for a Juventus budget that Giuntoli has a mission to further recover with sustainable operations, but at the level to compete on three fronts. Combining the two things is not easy and in fact Koopmeiners risks becoming a complicated target to achieve. FergusonHowever, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury and will only return in November, too late to undertake a 40 million euro operation.
Church ready to renew?
At Juventus, the renewal issue also holds center stage. With Rabiot And McKennie we will continue to talk, but the chances are reduced, while there seems to be a glimmer of hope for Federico Church. The son of art has the contract expiring in 2025 and the Juventus he wants to avoid another zero transfer risk after Rabiot, which is why Cristiano Giuntoli is working to at least obtain a one-year renewal. Chiesa receives around 5 million a year and the club’s idea is to extend it by a season and think again in the summer of 2025. No adjustments are foreseen and Church he would have opened up the possibility of remaining at the same figure, perhaps taking advantage of the fact that a change of coach, moving to an attacking 4-3-3, would give him the opportunity to act in his natural role. The profile chosen by Giuntoli would be Thiago Motta, but the Bologna coach is focused on the Champions League fight and will sit at the table with his club at the end of the season. Will he change his tune or do like Xabi Alonso and Amorim? All the answers at the end of May.
