Juventus have raised their offer to Atalanta for star midfielder Teun Koopmeiners as they look to accelerate for a deal, reports detail.
The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder is the Bianconeri’s primary transfer target this summer and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is finally ready to try and find a deal with la Dea after selling Dean Huijsen to Bournemouth and Matias Soule to Roma.
In recent days, Juventus submitted their first official offer to Atalanta for Koopmeiners, proposing a deal worth circa €45m, which is far below the €60m price tag set by the Bergamo outfit.
The 26-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Old Lady, agreeing to a five-year deal worth around €4.5m net per season.
Juventus raise for Koopmeiners
Page eight of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Juventus are keen to try and close out a deal for Koopmeiners within the next seven days, so are ready to raise their offer to Atalanta, increasing to a fixed €48-50m with around €5-7m in add-ons.
Some report suggest that la Dea won’t let the Dutch midfielder leave until after their UEFA Super Cup clash with Real Madrid on August 14th.
