Teun Koopmeiners: Why Juventus are willing to sell Man United target

The versatile 28-year-old has shown signs of promise as a centre-back under Luciano Spalletti. Koopmeiners is a technically gifted player who possesses exceptional athleticism.

Speaking to Sky Sports (via Express), former AZ boss Pascal Jansen claimed the six-foot-tall midfielder’s “pressing and chasing abilities when out of possession, I would almost say they are inhuman.”

Juventus set Teun Koopmeiners price tag

However, Juventus are open to parting ways with Koopmeiners to manage their finances.

The Italian newspaper claims the Serie A giants plan to avoid a capital loss by sanctioning his exit for at least €30m (£26.1m).

It is understood that United are willing to take the risk and will compete with Galatasaray for Koopmeiners’ signature.

His agent, Bart Baving, was reportedly in Turin on Monday to clarify his client’s future.

The Premier League giants are also thought to be interested in Juventus’ highly rated winger Kenan Yildiz. However, Juventus are reluctant to open talks over his transfer this summer.
