According to a journalist, the signing of Koopmeiners would be a clear message from Juventus to Rabiot

Adrien Rabiot is no longer a Juventus player, but the Bianconeri have not withdrawn their offer for him, and he has not rejected it.

Technically, they are still in talks to extend his stay, although the midfielder is currently focused on Euro 2024 and is open to joining another club.

The Frenchman’s future remains uncertain, and despite the arrival of Thiago Motta at the Allianz Stadium, no agreement has been reached with Juve.

Juventus are keen to rebuild their midfield whether Rabiot stays or not, and two other midfielders are expected to join Douglas Luiz at the club.

Journalist Paolo Paganini followed their efforts to keep Rabiot and their activities on the transfer market.

He believes that if they manage to add Teun Koopmeiners to their squad, it will become increasingly difficult for Rabiot to secure a place in their team again.

He said, as quoted by Tuttomercatoweb:

“If Koopmeiners arrives, it means that Rabiot’s transfer is on hold. Rabiot and Motta have had an excellent relationship since their time at PSG, but in this case, it must also be taken into account that Juve’s priority is to take the Dutchman, otherwise they would have concluded the contract with Rabiot a long time ago.”

Juve FC declares

We have waited long enough for Rabiot, it is better to move on and do other projects for our team.
