Juventus Eyes Koopmeiners; Villa Seeks Huijsen

Juventus is preparing to make a bid for Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners from Atalanta, with the player expressing a keen interest in joining the club since February. The Bianconeri’s transfer strategy also includes Douglas Luiz and Khéphren Thuram as part of their plans to revitalize the squad under new coach Thiago Motta. Juventus has agreed to personal terms with Koopmeiners for a contract until 2029, with a salary of €4.5 million per year. However, the deal is complicated, with Atalanta asking for €60 million while Juventus’ offer stops at €40 million. To finance the operation, Juventus must make sales, with Dean Huijsen as one of the players potentially being sold.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa has inquired about Juventus’s centre-back Dean Huijsen, indicating a potential interest in strengthening their defense. Juventus values Rugani at between €5 and €6 million, and the defender is happy to remain with the Bianconeri. Aston Villa have reportedly made an enquiry to sign Juventus’s promising young defender, Dean Huijsen, ahead of the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old centre-back, who has just concluded a successful loan stint at AS Roma and returned to Juventus, has piqued the interest of numerous elite clubs across Europe.
