The 25-year-old has been widely labelled as one of the most promising midfielders in the Italian top flight, and he could be on the move this summer.
Koopmeiners’ unique talents were on show last season as he racked up ten goals and four assists in 33 Serie A games for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, helping them to a fifth-place finish.
His stellar performances have not gone under the radar, with top clubs in the country and across Europe now weighing up a move for the highly-rated Dutchman.
Koopmeiners’ ability to feature in a variety of positions in midfield further bolsters his popularity among top clubs. His versatility will come in handy, and Brighton are keen to strike a deal for his signature.
The Seagulls are preparing for a midfield shake-up with their top stars attracting interest from the Premier League’s big boys.
Alexis Mac Allister has already joined Liverpool, and Brighton are preparing to lose his former teammate Moises Caicedo who is a subject of concrete interest from Chelsea.
The Italian news publication insists Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is personally pushing for the club to snap up Koopmeiners, and they are weighing up a bid to test Atalanta’s resolve.
Atalanta value Koopmeiners at €30 million – a figure that should not be problematic for the Seagulls to fork out, especially after qualifying for next season’s Europa League.
However, they could be drawn into a bidding war for the dazzling Dutchman, who has two years left on his current contract and is attracting interest from a host of Serie A giants, including Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli.
Brighton have already confirmed the capture of Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mahmoud Dahoud on a free transfer, with the German expected to replace Mac Allister.
Koopmeiners should prove another shrewd acquisition by the Seagulls as they plan for a future without Caicedo.
