Juventus must collect more funds to raise their bid for Teun Koopmeiners and wish Federico Chiesa made his decision sooner rather than later. They have a deal in place with Roma, but the winger prefers waiting for other destinations, Corriere dello Sport informed (via Tuttomercatoweb).
The attacker wants to see whether he could draw interest from a team that plays in the Champions League or if there’s a chance he could transfer to the Premier League. Moreover, he’s angling for a pay raise after turning down an extension with the Bianconeri. He’s unlikely to obtain that in the Italian capital.
Juventus hope Chiesa makes up his mind and signs off on his Roma move to have more ammo to seal the Koopmeiners deal. Atalanta aren’t budging from their €60M request. The Old Lady might have to get there cash only to be successful. Their latest bid amounted to €40/45M.
The two clubs have set up the transfer of the Azzurri star for about €25M. If he turns it down or buys more time, the Bianconeri will have to accelerate on other sales, for instance, Dean Huijsen’s. The Dutch midfielder has rejected other proposals for now.
Our Take on Juventus, Chiesa, Roma, and Koopmeiners
It’d be a great deal for the Giallorossi, but if his wages were a problem for his current team, they’d be even more so for them. He doesn’t seem in a mood for a discount like Paulo Dybala initially did. After missing out on Riccardo Calafiori, the Old Lady might go the extra mile to get their guy this time.
