Two Juventus sales could unblock Koopmeiners deal

Juventus are trying to sell Matias Soule and Dean Huijsen as soon as possible, as they finally want to bring in Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners.

The Bianconeri had long had their eye on the Dutch midfielder, but were unable to complete the expensive deal due to their fragile financial position, meaning they had to sell him before they could buy.

Juventus have been quite active in the summer transfer market, signing the likes of Douglas Luiz, Khephren Thuram, Juan Cabal and Michele Di Gregorio, giving Thiago Motta a new group of players to begin his project with.

Juventus sales lead to Koopmeiners

On page two of today’s Corriere dello Sport it is detailed how Juventus hopes to receive around €60 million from the sale of Soule and Huijsen, which would allow them to immediately conclude a deal for Koopmeiners with Atalanta.

The Argentine forward is at the centre of a tug-of-war between Leicester City and AS Roma and is expected to cost around £30m, while the Dutch-Spanish defender has attracted serious interest from Paris Saint-Germain and a number of unnamed Bundesliga clubs.
