Juventus have increased their offer to Atalanta for star midfielder Teun Koopmeiners as they look to accelerate a deal, the report reports.
The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder is the Bianconeri’s top target this summer and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is finally in a position to try and reach a deal with Dea after promoting Dean Huijsen to Bournemouth and Matias Soule to Roma. .
In recent days, Juventus have submitted their first official offer to Atalanta for Koopmeiners, offering a deal worth around €45m, well below the €60m set by the Bergamo side.
The 26-year-old has already reached a private agreement with the Old Lady, agreeing to a five-year contract for around €4. 5 million net per season.
Page 8 of today’s Corriere dello Sport highlights how Juventus are keen to investigate and close a deal for Koopmeiners in the next seven days and are keen to increase their offer to Atalanta, bringing it to a steady amount of €48. 50 million euros with around 5 million euros, 7 million add-ons.
Some reports recommend that Dea will let the Dutch midfielder leave after the UEFA Super Cup clash against Real Madrid on August 14.
