Arne Slot is in the middle of his first transfer window as Liverpool manager but one of his top targets has reportedly snubbed an opportunity to join him
The Dutch midfielder has made quite the impression in Serie A with Atalanta, lifting the Europa League trophy last season and establishing himself as a formidable presence in the middle of the park. Jurgen Klopp was said to be an admirer of Koopmeiners during his time at the helm.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Juve, Koopmeiners would prefer a move to Juventus. It's also understood that he has communicated his decision to the club, despite the keen interest from Slot and Liverpool, reports the Mirror. In a conversation with De Telegraaf, Koopmeiners recently said: "I have indicated to Atalanta that I want to make a move."But there must be something very nice to exchange that for Atalanta. My girlfriend and I are having a great time in Italy, but I can put up with the rain for some clubs in England!
Last season, Koopmeiners contributed 15 goals and seven assists in 51 appearances for the Italian side. Two of his assists came in the Europa League campaign, which saw him assist a vital goal in Atalanta's first-leg draw with Marseille.
