Teun Koopmeiners is refusing to train with Atalanta as he tries to force through a move to Juventus this month, reports detail.
The 26-year-old Dutch midfielder has clearly been the Bianconeri’s top target for the summer transfer window for some time now and has already agreed terms with the club, agreeing a five-year contract worth around €4.5 million net per season.
Juventus have yet to reach an agreement with Atalanta for Koopmeiners, with their bid of around €55 million failing to convince the Bergamo side. In an interview on Thursday, Gian Piero Gasperini claimed the midfielder had an agreement with the Old Lady and was not training.

On the advice of his agent Bart Baving, who arrived in Italy in recent days, Koopmeiners presented a medical certificate to Atalanta to stop training for health reasons, linked to stress, Calciomercato.com details.
The 26-year-old has not trained with La Dea in the last two days and will not feature in the friendly against St Pauli. There are also serious doubts over his availability for the upcoming UEFA Super Cup clash with Real Madrid.
