Teun Koopmeiners is in the interest of Napoli, as you know La Gazzetta dello Sport report Friday morning. The Atalanta midfielder must succeed Piotr Zielinksi in Naples, who will probably sign a contract in Saudi Arabia one of these days. Napoli would have an amount of about thirty million euros left for the 25-year-old Koopmeiners.
In Bergamo, the left leg has become a permanent force. Where he sometimes had to settle for a place on the reserve bench in his first season, Koopmeiners was almost always assured of a basic place last season. In 33 games, the midfielder scored a creditable 10 goals and provided 4 assists. Koopmeiners crowned his successful season with a hat-trick in the last round against Monza.
Now it seems that the 16-time international of the Dutch can make the step to national champion Napoli. Trainer Rudi Garcia sees Koopmeiners as a possible successor to Zielinski. In addition, Napoli André-Frank Zambo Anguissa will miss part of the season, because the Cameroonian will be active with his country in the Africa Cup. The Italian newspaper previously reported that the former AZ captain could make a switch to Juventus. The old lady would see a replacement for Paul Pogba in Koopmeiners, who is linked to a departure from Juventus.
Koopmeiners is on the eve of his third Serie A season. In the summer of 2021, he made the switch from AZ to Atalanta for twelve million euros. In Alkmaar, the midfielder had become a regular basic player and even captain. Born Castricummer, he went through the entire AZ youth academy before making his debut for the first team in 2017.
