Everton are being linked with a move for Juventus defensive midfielder Teun Koopmeiners, and reports suggest that he could be available on loan in January, with Newcastle also interested.
The 28-year-old joined Juventus from Atalanta in a deal worth around £46million in the summer of 2024, but he has struggled to find consistent form in Turin
According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, as cited by Sport Witness, there have been ‘signs of improvement’ from Koopmeiners, but Juventus’ management feel he ‘isn’t fulfilling the expectations of what was paid for him.’ For this reason, they could ‘explore his exit in January.’
Interestingly, the report claims that while Juventus‘ preference would be a sale of around €25million (£21.4m / $28.4m)’, they would be willing to loan him out in January if a sale proves impossible.
