Liverpool may be considering revisiting their interest in securing the services of Teun Koopmeiners, as they expressed preliminary interest last summer. The 26-year-old midfielder, currently with Atalanta since 2021, has garnered attention due to his exceptional performance this season, notably scoring ten goals and providing three assists in Serie A. Koopmeiners stands out as one of the rare midfielders in Europe’s top five leagues to achieve double-figure goals in consecutive seasons, alongside Manchester City’s Phil Foden.
Several top clubs, including Juventus, have shown interest in Koopmeiners, with reports suggesting Liverpool’s keenness to sign him following a missed opportunity last year. Speculations propose that an offer in the vicinity of £50 million could facilitate the departure of the Netherlands international. In a recent interview with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Koopmeiners disclosed his desire to move on from Atalanta in the summer, emphasizing the need for an enticing offer.
Acknowledging the interest from various clubs, Koopmeiners expressed openness to considering a move to England despite his current enjoyment in Italy. He hopes that attractive options will arise, allowing him to weigh his choices while ensuring Atalanta receives a fair compensation for his departure. Despite affirming his commitment to Atalanta, Koopmeiners acknowledged the flattering interest from Liverpool, indicating his focus remains on his current club.
The decision to reignite Liverpool’s interest in Koopmeiners rests with the new sporting director, Richard Hughes, alongside CEO Michael Edwards and the incoming manager. Koopmeiners has showcased his prowess by scoring 12 goals and providing four assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season. He remains under contract with Atalanta until 2025.
