Everton eye Teun Koopmeiners ahead of January window

Everton are monitoring Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners ahead of the January transfer window, with the Dutchman potentially available for a move away from Turin.

Koopmeiners joined Juventus from Atalanta in 2024 for €51.3 million plus bonuses, but he has struggled to establish himself as a key player since making the move.

Juventus are reportedly prepared to consider his departure in January if his performances do not improve significantly over the coming months. The club would prefer a permanent transfer and could demand at least €25 million to avoid a major financial loss.

However, a six-month loan could also be an option. Everton were among the clubs tracking the Netherlands international towards the end of the summer transfer window, although no formal offer was made at the time. Newcastle United, Monaco and Galatasaray were also linked with the midfielder.

Koopmeiners has shown some signs of improvement at the start of the current campaign, scoring against Parma and providing an assist against Milan. However, he has not yet reached the level Juventus expected when they invested heavily in his signing.

Everton could therefore return to the negotiating table in January if Juventus decide to make the 28-year-old available. For now, any potential move remains dependent on his performances over the next few months and the terms Juventus are willing to accept.
