According to sources in Italy, Liverpool is ready to recruit Dutch star Teun Koopmeiners after agreeing on a cost set by Atalanta.
Last week, we published a rumor from Gazzetta that claimed the Reds are in pole position to sign the midfielder during the summer transfer window.
Sport Mediaset (via Tutto Juve and SpazioJ) has reported that the Bergamo club values their prized asset at 60 million euros (£51.3 million).
According to reports, Serie A giants Juventus are interested in signing the former Ajax player, but he might finish up at Anfield.
Liverpool is willing to meet Atalanta’s demands in order to complete the deal, which includes paying La Dea’s asking money to sign Koopmeiners.
Furthermore, the influence of the upcoming new Dutch manager, Arne Slot, will be a significant challenge for the Bianconeri.
Koopmeiners can be deployed as a playmaker, creative midfielder, or offensive midfielder as needed.
This season, the 26-year-old dynamic player has scored 19 goals in 43 appearances for Atalanta.
On the other hand, Mac Allister is Liverpool’s most productive midfielder, having directly contributed to 13 goals in 43 games this season.
Klopp only strengthened the Reds’ midfield last summer and spent no money to bolster the squad this winter.
It would be interesting to see who Arne Slot brings in to help the team during the upcoming season. Do you believe Liverpool should spend the money to sign Koopmeiners?
