Teun Koopmeiners' time at Juventus is coming to an end. A recent meeting between the Dutchman's agent and Juventus management suggests an imminent departure from Turin.
After two turbulent years, during which the former Atalanta midfielder was tested in every position by Thiago Motta, Tudor, and now Spalletti, the desired results have never materialized. At least not for a player with a staggering value of 60 million euros.
And so, the search is now underway for a destination that can satisfy both the player's ambitions and, at the same time, Juventus' financial demands.
The Old Lady values Koopmeiners at no less than 30 million euros, a figure that would allow them to avoid a capital loss. Not exactly cheap for someone who hasn't shone since his departure from La Dea.
But his age, 28, is still on his side, and if he performs well at a World Cup, his valuation could reach the levels hoped for in Turin.
There is certainly interest from several foreign clubs that could sit at the negotiating table. Manchester United first and foremost, still searching for a winning identity they have long lost. But also Galatasaray, which has identified Italy as the right market to exploit.
