Thiago Motta Provides Koopmeiners Boost for Juventus

Motta's Arrival Excites Koopmeiners

Juventus' new manager, Thiago Motta, has given Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners a boost by expressing his admiration for the player.

Koopmeiners has been linked with a move to Juventus in recent weeks, and Motta's comments will only fuel speculation about a possible transfer.

Speaking to reporters, Motta said: "Koopmeiners is a very good player. He's a complete midfielder who can play in a number of positions. I'm a big fan of his."

Motta's Influence to Increase Playing Time

Sources indicate Motta is eager to bring Koopmeiners to Juventus and believes the Dutch international can play a key role in his team.

Koopmeiners has fallen out of favor at Atalanta under current manager Gian Piero Gasperini and has started just three Serie A matches this season.

A move to Juventus would give Koopmeiners the opportunity to play more regularly and challenge for major trophies.

Juventus Facing Competition for Koopmeiners

However, Juventus will face competition for Koopmeiners' signature. Several other clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, are also interested in signing the midfielder.

Atalanta is reportedly demanding a fee of around €40 million for Koopmeiners, which could prove to be a stumbling block for Juventus.

Despite the competition, Juventus remains confident of signing Koopmeiners. The club is hopeful that Motta's presence will be a key factor in persuading the player to join.
