Jugovic believes Koopmeiners has the potential to make a significant impact at Juventus

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, he emphasized the importance of the physicality that (Khephren) Thuram and Koopmeiners bring to the team, which will greatly benefit Douglas Luiz and the rest of the Juventus squad.

"At this moment, however, it would not be easy for any coach to give up (Manuel) Locatelli, who seems reborn compared to the past: thanks to him and to a game that probably brings out his qualities more.

"Koopmeiners? Comparisons are always difficult. Koopmeiners seems more offensive to me, he scores more than me. My seasonal record was 11 goals, he finished with 15 in the last season with Atalanta. He is a great midfielder: if he confirms himself at Juventus, he could become a title coup.

"Can (Dusan) Vlahovic reach 30 goals? Why not? It could be the right year, I hope so. But Dusan's season will also depend on that of Juventus."
