After months of negotiations and relentless pressure from Juventus, the club has finally secured one of the biggest transfers in its history: Dutch midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has officially joined the Bianconeri. He signed a five-year contract worth 4 million euros net per season, and Atalanta will receive at least 55 million in transfer fees. Juventus will pay the fee in installments over the next five years.«Qui tutto è bellissimo, anche la maglia» ⚪️⚫️Guarda l’intervista completa su https://t.co/0WCF8MKZsH: registrati gratuitamente sul nostro sito 📹⤵️— JuventusFC (@juventusfc) August 28, 2024 Atalanta had been firm in their demand for this sum since the negotiations began in the May. Juventus initially offered 30 million plus bonuses, but Atalanta consistently rejected these lower bids. As the transfer window drew to a close, Juventus gradually increased their offers, ultimately agreeing to pay a fixed 52 million with an additional 6 million in bonuses. Half of the bonuses (3 million) are easily achievable, while the other half is more challenging, so Atalanta can realistically expect to receive 55 million. Additionally, Juventus has committed to paying solidarity contributions to Koopmeiners’ former clubs, AZ Alkmaar and Vitesse, bringing the total cost of the deal close to 60 million.Juventus & Sons – After Weah and Thuram, Conceição Jr also arrives in TurinKoopmeiners is now the sixth most expensive signing in Juventus’ history, following Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuaín, Dušan Vlahović, Matthijs de Ligt, and Arthur. The club views him as a critical and valuable addition to their squad. After a disappointing season and parting ways with Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus embarked on a complete overhaul of the team under new coach Thiago Motta. Central to Motta’s plans is Koopmeiners, who plays a key role in his 4-2-3-1 system. The Italo-Brazilian coach has revamped half of the team this August, bringing in a new goalkeeper (De Gregorio), a new left-back (Cabal), a new center-back (Kalulu), a new midfield duo (Douglas Luiz and Thuram), and a pair of wingers (Nico González and Conceição). However, the crucial “number eight” role remained vacant, which is why Motta insisted so heavily on signing Koopmeiners. With all the transfers, including loans with purchase options and bonuses, this June could end up costing Juventus around 250 million. And the spending spree isn’t over yet, as the club is also negotiating with Manchester United for the transfer of Jadon Sancho.##NAJAVA_MECA_8298041##
