Manchester United are eyeing a surprise move for Juventus midfielder Teun Koopmeiners this summer.
The Red Devils are planning to overhaul their midfield, with Casemiro leaving Old Trafford at the end of this campaign.
The club look to add two midfielders, but they could pursue a third if Manuel Ugarte also departs.
According to Tuttosport, United are willing to ‘take a gamble’ on Koopmeiners in the upcoming transfer window.
The 28-year-old joined Juventus in a €52 million deal in 2024, but he has failed to meet expectations in Turin.
The Dutchman has played in different positions but has failed to establish himself as a regular under Luciano Spalletti.
He has featured in 28 Serie A games this season, but 12 of them have come off the bench.
Juventus are ready to part company with Koopmeiners, who has a contract at the Allianz Stadium until 2029.
United and Turkish outfit Galatasaray have shown an interest in the Netherlands international, who could be signed for a €30m fee.
Koopmeiners is highly rated for his versatility.
The 28-year-old initially played as an attacking midfielder for Juventus but has mainly taken on the defensive role this season. He also played as a central defender earlier this campaign.
Given his struggles in Serie A, United would be wary of pursuing a deal for Koopmeiners.
But the Premier League giants could make a concrete move in the summer, if Juventus lower their asking fee.
