According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus and Atalanta have already reached an agreement for Teun Koopmeiners’ move to Turin, but La Dea must sign a replacement before giving the green light.
Dutch midfielder Koopmeiners is on the verge of joining Juventus in a €55m deal.
The Atalanta midfielder won’t be involved in tonight’s UEFA Super Cup clash between La Dea and Real Madrid and is pushing to join the Old Lady.
“It’s disappointing for Koopmeiners, who was denied the opportunity to play in this game,” Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini told Sky Sport Italia on Tuesday.
“He is the real victim of this situation. I am sad that I was unable to convince him to keep out of certain transfer market issues. He remains a very nice guy, we are very fond of him and he helped us to get here.”
Gazzetta: Juventus and Atalanta have Koopmeiners agreement
According to the latest report of La Gazzetta dello Sport, it’s just a matter of time before the 26-year-old fulfils his dream.
The pink paper, in fact, claims that Juventus and Atalanta have already reached an agreement over a €55m transfer, but the Nerazzurri are currently working to sign a replacement before sending their star midfield to Turin.
Gasperini’s side are close to signing Marco Brescianini from Frosinone, but Celtic’s talent Matt O’Riley has been identified as the ideal replacement for Koop.
Once and if the Danish midfielder moves to Bergamo, Koopmeiners will be allowed to join Juventus.
