Teun Koopmeiners has made it known that he wishes to depart from Atalanta once the season concludes, with Juventus and clubs from the Premier League showing an interest.
The Dutch midfielder’s impressive performances in Serie A have not gone unnoticed, attracting attention from major teams for a summer transfer. At 26, Koopmeiners expressed his desire to exit Atalanta in a telegraaf.nl interview, citing previous interest from Napoli that didn’t culminate in a transfer due to the clubs not reaching an agreement.
“I’ve informed Atalanta of my decision to leave in the summer,” the midfielder declared. Despite enjoying life in Italy, he’s open to moving, especially to England, regardless of the weather. Koopmeiners acknowledged the buzz around his potential move to Juventus and the Premier League, hoping Atalanta benefits financially from his departure.
