Why Juventus is not thinking about selling Koopmeiners | OneFootball

Juventus signed Teun Koopmeiners for approximately 60 million euros last summer with high expectations that he would be the final piece in Thiago Motta’s evolving squad. Having impressed consistently at Atalanta, the Dutch midfielder was considered one of the finest in Europe during his time in Bergamo. The Bianconeri were confident that his arrival would elevate the overall quality of their midfield and solidify their challenge both domestically and in Europe.

Koopmeiners had earned a reputation for his composed presence, tactical intelligence and ability to control matches. His standout performances, particularly in matches against Juventus while at Atalanta, had convinced the Turin side that he would bring exactly what they had been missing. However, his debut campaign in black and white has not lived up to the billing.

Struggles in the First Season

In all competitions, Koopmeiners has struggled to replicate the influence he once had at Atalanta. Although there have been flashes of his ability, consistency has been lacking. Head coach Igor Tudor is still working to bring out the best in the Dutchman, but the player’s adaptation to the team’s demands has so far fallen short of expectations.

Amid growing scrutiny, speculation has emerged regarding his long-term future at the club. Some reports have suggested Juventus might consider moving him on if the right offer arrives. However, this appears unlikely in the current window.

Financial Considerations Influence Decision

According to Calciomercato, Juventus are not in a position to part ways with Koopmeiners this summer. The club is concerned that his current market value would not justify a sale, and offloading him now would likely result in a financial loss. Instead, Juventus are hoping that the midfielder can rediscover his best form and provide the returns expected of such a significant investment.

Koopmeiners remains a talented player, but he must raise his performance levels in the coming season. Otherwise, Juventus may ultimately view his acquisition as a misjudged investment rather than a crucial addition to their midfield strength.
