RTK has reported that Liverpool is actively pursuing the Dutch international from Atalanta. Graeme Bailey noted that Koopmeiners is an intriguing player and a legitimate option for Liverpool, stating, “I think he’s one who will no doubt they’ll be doing their work on, I think they’ll be aware of.”

Juventus is also interested in the 26-year-old, but reports from Italy indicate they cannot outbid Premier League clubs.
FOOTBALLWAVE suggests that Liverpool should prioritize signing a natural defensive midfielder rather than an attacking one.
Although Dominik Szoboszlai has been off form lately, he remains a talented player capable of playing both centrally and out wide. Alexis Mac Allister has excelled in an advanced midfield role but has been less effective when used as a defensive midfielder, a position not suited to his strengths.
Last season, Wataru Endo was the main defensive midfielder. While he performed well in his debut season in England, he struggled against more physical opponents. Additionally, Endo is past his prime, highlighting the need for a young and high-quality defensive midfielder.
Therefore, Liverpool should focus on securing a young, quality defensive midfielder to bolster their squad.
