Liverpool are still looking for reinforcements in midfield after rejecting Martin Zubimendi, who opted to stay at Real Sociedad. "The Reds" have already set their sights on Atalanta's ace, Teun Koopmeiners. Juventus are also chasing the midfielder, and at the moment the Italians are favorites to sign the player.
Liverpool have yet to bring any new players to Anfield this season, which has worried many of the club's fans. Especially considering the departures of Fabio Carvalho, Sepp van den Berg and Bobby Clarke. However, coach Arne Slot expressed himself unconcerned about the situation, commenting:
"I trust my team. I've said it before, I inherited a pretty good squad, with a bunch of young players. We trust them. Have they proven that we can trust them."
Captain Virgil van Dijk, on the other hand, was more direct with his statements, expressing the desire for new approaches in the team. The Dutch said:
"Obviously, I think we need to bring in more young players, seeing how long the season is. But I think they are working behind the scenes and I am fully convinced that the club will do the right thing and try to put together the best team to be competitive in all competitions."
Meanwhile, regarding Teun Koopmeiners, according to the English media, Liverpool is in constant communication with Atalanta about the player's situation. The Dutchman was a key part of Atalanta's success last season, helping the Italian club lift the Europa League trophy. Koopmeiners is thought to have agreed personal terms with Juventus, but Liverpool are still in the running. The player's card is valued at 60 million euros.
