Atalanta and Gasperini: Koopmeiners chose Juve and doesn't want to train with us

The coach explained in an interview with the Echo di Bergamo newspaper, the Dutchman’s position: “He will no longer play and will remain out of the field: the club feels blackmailed.”

“The situation was very good until last week, then Koopmeiners decided to go to Juventus”. To illustrate the situation that has been igniting the market for weeks, if not months, is Gian Piero Gasperini, who stated in an interview with the Echo di Bergamo newspaper, how the midfielder currently playing for Atalanta decided “not to play and do not train with us anymore.”

“He already has an agreement with Juventus and he is nervous,” the Nerazzurri coach told Ecco di Bergamo. “With this behaviour he cannot be useful to the team or his teammates.” In Warsaw, if nothing changes in a few days, the Dutchman is unlikely to be on the pitch in the European Super Cup against Real Madrid.

Luca Percassi has been very clear in recent days: “His transfer was never in our plans”, he has repeated several times. “The club has taken a very firm position, because it feels blackmailed by the situation”, explains Gasperini, highlighting the differences with other transfers granted to big clubs: “This situation is different compared to other times when Atalanta sold for gold”. In short, all parties can now look for that compromise that the goddess has long tried to avoid.

The truth for Gasperini now is that “Atalanta were unlucky to lose three important players”. These include Koopmeiners, but also Scamacca and Scalvini, all in the pits with broken cruciate ligaments. “We are at the lowest level – the thunder of Gasp – the club will take care of it, but at the moment the team is much less competitive than it was at the end of last season. There are still three missing cases that the club is working on.”

It is not just Koopmeiners on the transfer list that must be registered: even Bilal Toure, the most expensive purchase in the history of the Nerazzurri just over a year ago, has made no secret of his desire to leave. And then there are the “pending” situations like Toloi and Baker, on the sidelines of the project, albeit for different reasons. “I am disappointed when situations like those of Bilal or Mitchell occur, because in the end they lead to huge losses.” Not Qatar but for Gimsetti: “He has decided to stay.”
