Liverpool to miss out on £18m Gini Wijnaldum transfer replacement who Jurgen Klopp loves

Liverpool look set to miss out on one of their reported midfield targets Teun Koopmeiners, with Atalanta on the verge sealing a deal for the AZ Alkmaar captain. The Reds are looking to sign a replacement for Gini Wijnaldum, who looks to be heading to PSG when his contract expires in a few weeks.
AS reported in May that Klopp is a big fan of Koopmeiners, but he now appears close to an £18million move to the Serie A side, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
The 23-year-old is arguably one the most influential midfielders in the Eredivisie, due to his set pieces and superb passing range, something Liverpool could have benefited from.
Koopmeiners has been open about his desire to leave the his home country, as he seeks a new challenge in a higher-profile league.
It was previously reported that he had been holding talks with Roma, with Jose Mourinho’s side appearing to be Liverpool’s biggest challengers.
But, out of nowhere, another Serie A club has leapt to the front of the queue and are now set to sign the Dutch international.
