The Dutchman has been a key player for the Serie A outfit, but he is now determined to pursue a bigger challenge elsewhere.

Napoli were interested in signing him last summer, but Atalanta were quite clear that they did not want to lose him for any price.

However, they could be forced to cash in this time around. In an interview with De Telegraaf, Koopmeiners has revealed his desire to leave.

The midfielder said that he would like to continue in Italy, but added that he would not rule out a move to the Premier League with some teams.

This should be a boost for Liverpool and United, who have been closely tracking his performances at Atalanta for several months.

Atalanta are expected to open the door for his departure, but won't let him go on the cheap. The former AZ man could cost at least €60m.
