Koopmeiners downs tools at Atalanta in push for Juventus move | OneFootball

Teun Koopmeiners is refusing to train with Atalanta as he tries to force through a move to Juventus this month, reports detail.

The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has clearly been the Bianconeri’s primary target of the summer transfer window for a while now and has already agreed terms with the club, accepting a five-year contract worth around €4.5m net per season.

Juventus still haven’t agreed a deal with Atalanta for Koopmeiners, with their circa €55m offer failing to convince the Bergamo outfit. In an interview on Thursday, Gian Piero Gasperini claimed the midfielder had an agreement with the Old Lady and wasn’t training.
