Giants leading the race, Liverpool moves to recruit Teun Koopmeiners
sources
Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool has expressed interest in signing Teun Koopmeiners, a star player for Atalanta, but they are not in a position to finalize a deal. The Dutch international’s agents have an agreement with the Reds that will see him arrive at Anfield this summer. With the opportunity to stay in Italy past this season, Juventus is presently leading the race to sign the 26-year-old. Arne Slot might help Liverpool acquire Teun Koopmeiners. The offensive midfielder, whose contract with the Serie A club is slated to continue until 2027, was excellent in both of last month’s Europa League quarterfinal matches against Liverpool. Koopmeiners’s performances undoubtedly impressed Anfield’s executives, who have now expressed interest in a possible move. The Dutchman has a strong chance of making it to the Europa League championship game this year, as his team is now tied on aggregate with Marseille, a French club, following the first leg. The Reds may have an advantage in the signing of Koopmeiner if Arne Slot, who is anticipated to succeed Jurgen Kopp at Anfield, manages him after having managed him at AZ Alkmaar.
