Koopmeiners: Juventus raise offer for Atalanta star

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.
