Koopmeiners remains in pole position but the cost è very high

Juventus 2024/25 is beginning to take shape. While waiting for the signing of Thiago Motta (three-year contract for four million euros net per season), Giuntoli è is working to find the best possible solutions to improve the squad. There'è need; to have a big name in midfield.

Koopmeiners remains the big dream of the Bianconeri club but Atalanta has no intention of giving up the Dutch midfielder, except in front of a super offer. There is talk of a price tag of no less than 60 million euros. A very high price and, at the moment, not sustainable by Juventus (only Premier League clubs could go that far).

There would be no shortage of alternatives. One leads to Guendouzi. Author of a great season in the Lazio shirt, the 25-year-old French midfielder is in fact è owned by O.Marseille. Lazio must decide whether or not to redeem him. Also not to be ruled out is Khéphren Thuram, brother of Marcus (Inter Milan striker) and veteran of a very good year with Nice.

Contextually, Giuntoli is trying to find a way to convince Rabiot to stay at Juventus. A major proposal would be on the plate: a two-year contract worth 7.5 million euros per season. The French midfielder’s mom would be stalling, perhaps to see whether or not there are offers from the Premier League, a league in which Rabiot has always dreamed of playing.
