Three prominent Premier League clubs are monitoring Bologna defender Sam Beukema. The Dutchman has a contract until June 2027. Liverpool secured a victory against Bologna on Wednesday in the second round of the Champions League. Despite a strong effort from the Italian side, the Reds managed to win 2-0, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah.
This match attracted the attention of scouts from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Aston Villa. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, their goal was to evaluate the performance of the visiting team’s player, Sam Beukema, who is 25 years old.
While he couldn’t prevent his team’s loss, the center-back delivered a solid performance, reinforcing the positive impressions he has made in Serie A this season, where he has played eight official matches and provided one assist.
Should he move on, any interested clubs will need to negotiate firmly with a Rossoblù side that is likely to demand a substantial fee for their player. Notably, 20 percent of the transfer fee will go to AZ Alkmaar, the club where the Deventer native played before joining Calcio.
