Liverpool have been joined in the race for Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners by Serie A champions Napoli, as per a report by Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.

Klopp’s side have been linked with the former AZ Alkmaar man on a handful of occasions over recent times. He has been with his current club since 2021 and has scored 14 goals in 78 games.
