Gasperini has personally contacted Teun Koopmeiners to convince him to join him in Rome: details of the possible operation with Juventus.

Already at Atalanta, the Dutchman under the coach has recorded impressive numbers. The last season in Bergamo ended with 10 goals and 4 assists in 33 Serie A appearances.

The Dutch midfielder at Juventus is facing great difficulties: 1 goal in 4 appearances. While, last season, he scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 40 games played.

According to Marcello Chirico, Gasperini has contacted the player and intends to bring him to the Capital.

Rome, Koopmeiners’ stats with Gasperini

In his career, the player has provided excellent numbers for AZ and Atalanta. In particular, in the 2018/19 season, he scored 8 goals and provided 1 assist in 35 Eredivisie appearances.

From the following season, he started to shine: 15 goals and 3 assists in 35 appearances. Admirable even for many forwards.

Finally, the last and most important season in Eredivisie, the 2020/21 season: 40 appearances, 17 goals, and 7 assists.

For around 12 million euros, the player moved to Bergamo in 2021. 4 goals and 4 assists in 45 appearances, a decent start but not as impressive as previous seasons.

10 goals and 4 assists in 35 appearances, 15 goals and 7 assists in 51 appearances in the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. A move to the Bianconeri’s court is inevitable, as is Gasperini’s undeniable interest.

AC Milan could make a rather sensational market move: Son Heung-Min could arrive from the USA, a move in the style of Beckham.

AC Milan could make a rather sensational market move: Son Heung-Min, player of Los Angeles FC and former Tottenham, could arrive from the USA. With the end of the MLS season coinciding, the Korean player would like to play to stay in shape for the World Cup. It would be a move similar to what the Rossoneri did in the past with Beckham.

AC Milan, intriguing possibility: Son could arrive from the USA, Beckham-style operation in 2010

At AC Milan, a surprise big player could arrive, also due to a peculiarity related to the calendar: in fact, not all leagues end their season in June, but in some leagues (especially those in North America) the season ends in December to resume in late spring. But now in the MLS, many players are also top national team players, some want to stay in shape since the World Cup is coming up in June. Among them is Son Heung-Min, a midfielder for Los Angeles FC who could arrive at AC Milan in January, according to some English rumors.

Indeed, finishing his commitments with the California franchise before Christmas, he would then be inactive for a good 4 months before resuming in April. This is too long if you want to be in shape for the World Cup, and that’s why a loan deal could be sought, as was done with David Beckham, who arrived at AC Milan twice, in 2009 and 2010, precisely while the MLS was on a break. An episode that led the North American league to introduce a special clause for those who want to continue playing even when the MLS is on break.

However, for Son, AC Milan is not the only option: there is also the possibility of a return to Tottenham or playing in his homeland in South Korea, but the Rossoneri want to exploit the Beckham option, especially because during that period in the past they struggled more in terms of results. That’s why a player like Son would be needed, despite his age.
