AZ Alkmaar midfielder Teun Koopmeiners has revealed contact with Atalanta and AS Roma.

The Dutchman admits a move to Italy is now likely.

“I thought everything would go smoother," the midfielder said. “In my head, there's a lot to do.

“This situation brings stress because, in the end, you think about it every day. If the transfer doesn't take place before the start of the season, I will just have to play well and put as many minutes as possible in my legs.

“The talks are in full swing."
