Sportitalia and Football Market website report that Juventus are now turning their attention to Atalanta midfielder Koopmeiners after agreeing a deal with French midfielder Hevren Thuram with Nice, although the Dutchman is also a target for Liverpool.
Under new manager Thiago Motta, the Bianconeri have undergone a complete overhaul of the team, as he has a very different style of coaching from previous boss Allegri.
A number of Italian media outlets confirmed on Tuesday that Juventus will sign Thuram Jr. for a total price of €20 million in cash plus bonus clauses, while Sportitalia and Football Markets.com have revealed that sporting director Giuntoli has now turned his attention to Koopmeiners.
Juve's initial offer (€40 million plus a $5 million add-on) was rejected by Atalanta, so they need to sell some players first to raise funds to increase their offer.
Moise Keane will be sold to Fiorentina, while another player who could be sacrificed is midfielder Locatelli, especially as Marseille boss De Zerbi has been rumoured to be looking to sign him.
Juve signed Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz for €50 million, and Rabiot's contract has expired, so Juve could create a new midfield combination next season.
Koopmeiners have been a target for Juventus for months, and despite Chelsea and Liverpool have also been linked with him, Juve remain the favourites to sign the Dutch midfielder. The 26-year-old missed the European Championships due to injury, with Atalanta having a price tag of at least €50 million.
Koopmeiners made 51 appearances for Atalanta last season, contributing 15 goals and seven assists as the Nerazzurri reached the Coppa Italia final and won the Europa League.
