Juventus: Koopmeiners back on the market, the figures needed to avoid a capital loss
The Dutch midfielder will be one of those who can be sacrificed on the transfer market in January to raise cash.
Six games have already passed, five in the league and one in the Europa League, but Teun Koopmeiners still has not fully convinced Luciano Spalletti. The Tuscan coach has been forced to hand him space and minutes, but what he has produced on the pitch has not satisfied the coach.
With finances under strain and a need to go back into the market, the former Atalanta player, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, will be put back on the market once again, this time in the hope of avoiding his resistance to a permanent sale.
Struggling to "take hold" at Juventus
It's not just about the numbers, because he has a goal and an assist on the scoresheet at the start of the season. What Spalletti, the fans and the club's hierarchy do not like, as they look at the huge amortisation and salary figures in the accounts, is the way he carries himself on the pitch, along with that lingering sense that he still has not taken Juventus on his shoulders.
Transfer target, who wanted him
There is still a chance of a breakthrough, necessarily given the emergency, but Juventus' aim remains to sell Koopmeiners outright in January.
Back in the summer, Besiktas and a couple of Arab clubs were interested in a permanent deal, while Galatasaray, Manchester United, Monaco and Newcastle were pushing for a straight loan.
The figure to avoid making a capital loss
So what fee can Juventus afford to accept for the Dutchman? Afford is the key word because, with the accounts set to close with a deficit of around €60 million and the loss of Champions League revenue, Giovanni Carnevali needs to improve the Player Trading figures and cannot book a capital loss under any circumstances.
As of 30 June 2026, Koopmeiners still had a value of €31 million, with an amortisation quota of around €10 million. Consequently, if he leaves permanently in January, to avoid making a capital loss, a sale for no less than around €26 million will be required.
