Teun Koopmeiners to Juventus, it's going to happen. We won't say it's just a matter of time, as we've been discussing this story since January 10th, but the ending is nearly written. It wasn't supposed to be a saga, but it has turned into one due to Atalanta keeping a firm position.The deal is closer to 60 million euros than 55 million euros.

@AlfredoPedulla
At this stage i guess it doesn’t even matter anymore if it’s a few millions extra, just get it done, we are overpaying either way.

Was about to post it. The 40-50m deal collapsed due to Callagher deal I think and Omorodion and Chelsea didn't agree on salaries I think.


He would be fantastic backup for Vlaho, promising 19 year old gunner, but as you said zero chance they will loan him out lol, only sell for big profit.
I only saw a few bits of him at the Olympics for Spain. We definitely need another forward, I don't trust Milik to stay fit when needed and Vlahovic can't do it alone.

We are doing the same mistake, 70m for de ligt and he floped,
70m for Vlahovic and still a big question mark for that amount we paid for him
70m for Chiesa and no club has offered a half of it yet
90M for Higuaín and always disappeared in the big games.
koop is overvalued, he worths 50m at maximum.

I dont care about the price. If Koopmeiners is what Giuntoli and Motta expect him to be, whether he's €55 million or €65 million, it's going to be very expensive and it needs to hit.

If he's a star player for us, no one will care that we paid a few extra million.

If he doesnt live up to that hype, it'll be a disaster either way.

Hopefully it gets done, and Giuntoli/Motta were right in their assessment.

60 is crazy. Koop has done nothing ot earn that kind of figure
You're right he hasn't. He is worth 45 mill, 50 tops but this is what happens when we deal with other Italian clubs, price for us, its another for the rest. But we do really need him now, no time to find alternatives, although I thought Samardzic would be our plan B for some time now. Guess we're all in for Koop now.

Your point is 100% fair, minus Higuain always disappeared in big games. That's an unfair label attached to him for his time at Juventus. He had some massive goals in massive games here.

The Higuain signing was a mistake, but not because of his performances.

he’s been the highest scoring midfielder in serie A for two years, has 30+ goal contributions in that time, and is in his prime. But yeah, done nothing. What has Olmo done to earn his figure btw? I didn’t hear anyone whining about that one.

olmo is an easier sale for most fans as he's fancy af

tbh i also think that koopmeiners is a crazy purchase for that amount. and i kinda see the benefits of targeting him specifically. but for that money, so many alternatives. and you don't even have to think too much: calafiori + samardzic or koopmeiners + kalulu? for me it's easily the former two

or there's merino who's allegedly available:

Serie A wasn't that competitive at time, he scored most of his goals against underdog teams but he was not really effective against tough opponents.

I watched Koop one time. It's the Copa final against us and base on that match, he is worthed max 25m, lol.
The whole Atalanta team looked off pace in that final so not really the most relevant sample size i’d assume, especially considering that we also played our best game of the season that night despite coming from a series of complete shitshows from February onwards.

Crystal Palace are offering €8m to sign Kostić, who is currently out of the project. If he doesn't leave at the end of the transfer window, A reinstatement into the squad cannot be ruled out.
