Teun Koopmeiners, a Dutch midfielder, has revealed that he had interest from English clubs but ultimately decided to join Juventus. In an interview with Tuttosport, Koopmeiners expressed that once he learned of Juventus’ interest, he had no hesitation in making the move. He cited Matthijs de Ligt’s positive remarks about the Italian club as a significant influence on his decision, describing Juventus as a “dream” club.
Koopmeiners, known for his versatility and strong midfield presence, has previously played for clubs such as AZ Alkmaar and Atalanta. His style of play is characterised by his ability to control the tempo of the game and his proficiency in both defensive and attacking roles.
De Ligt, a fellow Dutchman and former Juventus player, had previously shared his positive experiences at the club, which evidently impacted Koopmeiners’ choice. De Ligt is currently enjoying his time at Manchester United, having recently scored his first goal for the club and expressing satisfaction with his move, according to recent reports.
