Juventus are ready to ‘threaten’ Liverpool’s interest in Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, with his ‘delightful assist’ in the draw with Marseille furthering their interest.
That’s according to Calcio Mercato, who say the midfielder is aiming to win the Europa League with the Italian side so he can leave on a high, and Juventus would happily make that happen.
They, though, are aware that Liverpool are ‘lurking’ in the back and are making ‘profound assessments’ on the midfielder as they plan a rebuild under Arne Slot this summer.
That’s something Juventus are more than aware of and there is a growing feeling that director of football Cristiano Giuntoli ‘must accelerate’ on the transfer to get their man, particularly ahead of Liverpool.
It seems the growing belief is that Liverpool want the midfielder and are ready to move, and that’s causing something of a panic for Juventus, who don’t want to miss out on a player whose long been on their list.
It all depends on Slot arriving at Anfield first, of course, then wanting the midfielder, but Juventus definitely think those two things are happening and they need to move.
