According to reliable Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla, Liverpool are set to face a double transfer blow with Juventus youngster Dean Huijsen expected to be involved in a swap deal with Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners.
Juventus’ interest in Teun Koopmeiners isn’t a secret anymore as they have been keeping tabs on him since January. They continue to work on a deal for the Dutchman, who has missed the 2024 Euros due to an injury.
After helping Atalanta win the Europa League, Koopmeiners has several European suitors. One of them is Liverpool, which is planning to reinforce different areas of the squad for the new manager, Arne Slot, to excel in the 2024/25 campaign.
After a strong season in Bergamo, La Dea value their star midfielder at around € 60 million, which is proving problematic to pay for Juventus. As a result, the Turin giants are willing to sweeten the deal by including young defender Dean Huijsen in part exchange, the Italian journalist adds.
It should be noted that Liverpool have been linked with Huijsen as well this summer. The defender has headed into the transfer window as a sought-after commodity after enjoying a solid second half of the season on loan with AS Roma.
