Juve, Koopmeiners target for midfield: two goals with a view to the transfer market

He is the hottest name on the Juventus market and he has personally demonstrated why in what could be his stadium. As long as English clubs don’t get involved between the Dutch and the Bianconeri

For the most awaited showcase, he put on the most sparkling dress. If Teun Koopmeiners’ audition was supposed to be a sort of audition at the Allianz Stadium, against Juventus, which for months has been the team most closely linked to him (and vice versa he is the hottest name in the Juventus transfer rumors), the message it’s clear: the Dutchman’s first double in this championship, who had scored another but in the Italian Cup to eliminate Milan, giving Atalanta the right on the most important day as they didn’t listen to the 40 million offers for him.

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT KOOPMEINERS

“What if we’re missing a Koopmeiners? Let’s say that today we were a bit chicken on the free kick and light even on the occasion of the second goal”, Allegri dribbles the question knowing that the answer would be “absolutely yes”, not only to Juve but to anyone. “If these are the results, we continue to compare him to Juve every week – Gasperini joked in the conference -. He has grown a lot and today he played a great game. Until June 30th he belongs to Atalanta and let’s make him do his best”. And first to Dazn: “The credit always goes to the player, we try to put them in the best conditions. I’m very happy for him, every year he does better and better, his is a continuous evolution, what I sensed is that he also has great qualities as a creator.”

KOOPMEINERS NUMBERS

Precisely the finishing skills, with that deadly shot, are the added value that gives the modernity and flexibility of a top player to a player who is already excellent for dribbling and insertions, and also useful in the non-possession phase. Koopmeiners is, in the top five European leagues, the only player together with Phil Foden to have already reached double figures in goals scored, according to Opta findings. Even more: at the beginning of March he had already equaled the 10 goals he scored in the whole of last year, just to illustrate his vertical rise. Even more: taking into account the seven assists, in these two seasons he has already contributed a pass or scored 27 goals. So much grace. Maybe even too much for this Juve, this is Premier material. So if the objective is him, this is clear to everyone, the waiting game in this case doesn’t work. Even more so with the European Championship just around the corner.
