Roma, Inter Milan, Napoli and Sevilla are said to be among the clubs who could make their move for Koopmeiners when the transfer window opens in the summer.
In terms of his price tag, it is believed that AZ may only ask for around €20m (£17.3m) but that may go up if competition for the player increases even further.
Koopmeiners has also been scouted by both Arsenal and Manchester United over the last two years so Liverpool may also have to contend with English clubs for the 23-year-old’s signature.

Four days ago, Calciomercato explained Liverpool have identified Teun Koopmeiners as a target to replace Georginio Wijnaldum, if the latter leaves Anfield.
The Reds midfielder has a contract expiring in the summer and the Merseyside club are hoping to tie him down to a new deal.
So far, there has been no progress in Liverpool?s effort to retain the 30-year-old beyond the ongoing campaign.
The Premier League side?s interest in the AZ Alkmaar is now backed up by AS. They state major European clubs are fighting to acquire the 23-year-old?s services and the Anfield club are also in the mix.
It?s claimed the English club are the latest side to join the race for the Dutchman as the ?Klopp sees him as an ideal candidate? to take Wijnaldum?s place in the squad.

He has a contract until 2023, but AS explain he is most likely to leave the Eredivisie side in the summer. AS explain the player is ?more than ready? to change clubs, who is estimated around ?20m.
Koopmeiners can play in two out of three positions in Klopp’s system. Liverpool ?have a need? to replace Wijnaldum and the report suggest his compatriot could be his ?ideal? successor at the club.
The Netherlands international has 17 goals and seven assists in all competitions for AZ this season.

Wijnaldum exit
This summer will see a painful goodbye for Kopites.
The Reds are set to lose Gini Wijnaldum on a free transfer with the Dutchman’s contract expiring at the end of the season.
The club have been unable to convince the midfielder to sign a new deal with the Dutchman understandably wanting a pay hike.
Barcelona appear to be his most likely destination but there’s been no news on any confirmed deals as of yet.
