Koopmeiners will leave, Juventus set the price

Teun Koopmeiners, the Dutch midfielder born in 1998, could be heading toward his final season wearing the Juventus shirt. Since arriving in Turin from Atalanta in the summer of 2024 for a fee of around €60 million, expectations surrounding the player were extremely high.

However, his performances have not consistently matched the investment made by the club.

According to reports from Calciomercato, Juventus are now seriously considering selling the midfielder during the upcoming summer transfer window, especially as he has struggled to become a decisive figure in the team’s tactical system.

Throughout his time in Turin, Koopmeiners has shown flashes of quality, particularly in his passing range and ability to strike from distance.

Despite this, he has failed to establish himself as a reliable leader in midfield, something Juventus were hoping for when they completed the expensive transfer.

With the club aiming to rebuild and optimize its squad financially and technically, difficult decisions are expected in the coming months.

Juventus’ Financial Strategy and Market Challenges

Juventus would reportedly only consider selling Koopmeiners on a permanent transfer basis, targeting a fee close to €33 million. This valuation is particularly important from an accounting perspective, as it would help the club avoid registering a capital loss on their balance sheet.

Achieving this figure, however, could prove challenging given the player’s inconsistent form and the current European transfer market conditions.

That said, potential interest could emerge from leagues with strong financial power. Clubs from Turkey or Saudi Arabia could represent realistic destinations, as they have recently shown willingness to invest in high-profile European players.

If concrete offers arrive from these markets, Juventus could seriously evaluate them as part of their squad restructuring plans.

Ultimately, the coming months will be crucial for both the player and the club. If Koopmeiners cannot significantly improve his performances before the end of the season, Juventus may accelerate plans to part ways and reinvest in profiles better suited to their long-term project.

For now, as highlighted by Calciomercato, his future in black and white remains highly uncertain.
