Liverpool officials have reportedly held initial discussions with Teun Koopmeiners, valued at €60 million by Serie A club Atalanta.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Atalanta, Teun Koopmeiners is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are vying for the signature of the Atalanta midfielder and have held preliminary talks with his agents. Meanwhile, the Serie A club will demand around €60 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Teun Koopmeiners and his journey to become a Serie A stalwart
Teun Koopmeiners has gone from strength to strength since joining Atalanta from AZ Alkmaar in August 2021. Such has been the Dutchman’s progress in the last three years that he is now one of the best players in Serie A. In addition, he has become a regular for the Netherlands on the international stage.
Koopmeiners has enjoyed an exceptional 2023/24 campaign thus far with La Dea, contributing to 22 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions. The 26-year-old has found the back of the net 15 times while providing seven assists. Meanwhile, the Atalanta midfielder’s progress in the last three years has not gone unnoticed.
Several high-profile clubs across Europe are keen on securing Teun Koopmeiners’s services, with widespread reports naming Juventus as the front-runner for his signature. However, Liverpool will compete with the Serie A heavyweights for the Dutch midfielder in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool interested
Liverpool’s interest in Teun Koopmeiners is understandable. The Merseyside club will part ways with Thiago Alcantara in the summer transfer window after his contract expires on July 1. So, it behoves Liverpool to delve into the market for a productive midfielder, making the Atalanta star a viable target.
The latest report has revealed that the Reds have held preliminary talks with the Dutchman’s agents over a possible move in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Atalanta will demand around €60 million to part ways with Koopmeiners. And Liverpool might not have any qualms about meeting the Serie A club’s valuation.
Recent reports have suggested the Reds are ready to pay Atalanta’s asking price for the 26-year-old. So, a deal worth €60 million might be on the cards, with Koopmeiners’s stint with La Dea on the cusp of ending by joining Liverpool.
