Liverpool were not expected to be busy in the January transfer window. And they haven’t been so far. It is well documented that the club prefers to recruit potential targets in the summer window.
That way, Jurgen Klopp has more time to bed them in during a full pre-season. This always helps players adjust a lot easier. Klopp’s style of play is unique, and sometimes players need that extra bit of time to acclimatise and settle in.
But nonetheless, January transfers are not unheard of. Liverpool won’t be proactive on the market, but they will be reactive if the right opportunity presents itself. The same thing happened with Cody Gakpo last year, and Luis Diaz the year before. Initially, Liverpool had planned to sign them in the summer. However, when other big clubs registered their interest, the Reds quickly acted to bring them to Anfield instead.
That could happen with another target this month, who Liverpool are preparing a move for according to the latest reports.
Teun Koopmeiners Liverpool interest
According to TuttoAtalanta.com Liverpool are ready to make a move for Teun Koopmeiners and are preparing an offer for the Netherlands international. Koopmeiners has been on Liverpool’s radar for some time.
In the past, he has been described as an ‘extraordinary’ player [Tuttomercatoweb]. And it’s easy to see why. He can pretty much play anywhere in midfield, and even further forward, or in the back line. His versatility already makes him an ideal fit for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
But on top of that he’s also got a great technical ability, and an eye for goal. This season he has registered 11 goal contributions for Atalanta in all competitions. He is currently valued at £60m according to the latest reports, which would make him a bargain.
