Pending official confirmation of Arne Slot’s arrival as Jürgen Klopp’s replacement, it seems that this coach already has a clear wish to kickstart his project at Anfield. It appears that the Reds might be interested in bringing in a midfielder.
Change is in the air at Liverpool, which, as we know, has already begun the expected transition in the coaching staff.
Arne Slot, currently the coach of Feyenoord, is chosen to lead the next phase following Jürgen Klopp’s successful tenure, who announced his departure in January.
This clear change in the Anfield squad is already bringing new decisions within the club. One such decision has been highlighted by Tuttosport, which points to the first major desire of the soon-to-be new coach, who will be competing with none other than Juventus.
Teun Koopmeiners takes the stage
According to this Italian newspaper, the first target for the Reds and the aforementioned Slot is none other than Teun Koopmeiners.
A key player for Atalanta (14 goals and 6 assists in 44 matches this season), this 26-year-old Dutchman is an essential figure in the Bergamo team.
As such, Atalanta values the player at no less than €60 million, a figure they do not expect to reduce given the significant interest he is drawing from major clubs across Europe.
We’ll see what happens at the end of the season as several top European teams are following him. Therefore there will be no guarantee that Liverpool will be able to sign him this summer, but there is no doubt that they are one of the favorites.
