Didac Aguirre The New Van Dijk Replies to Real Madrid's Interest with a Wink: It's Inevitable...
The unexpected words that Real Madrid has received from one of their objectives for the defense
This season has seen countless injuries that have seriously affected the Real Madrid team. The defense, above all positions, has been the most affected by the absence of Alaba and Militão. In light of this, the club has shown interest in several young central defenders, especially one who has been compared to Virgil Van Dijk.
“It’s inevitable to smile when you read something like that, but we’ll see at the end of the season” were the words of Sam Beukema. The central defender spoke positively about Real Madrid’s interest in transfering him.
“Now I just want to do my best with Bologna,” added the central defender to make his objectives clear. In a difficult season for the Italian team, Beukema is looking to help the team improve its situation before leaving for another destination.
Beukema's interest
Shining at Bologna since his arrival in 2023, Beukema has managed to gain the interest of Real Madrid. Being 26 years old, the central defender has managed to fit the profile of a young and talented player that Real Madrid is looking for. In addition to this, his experience in Europe has helped the Dutchman to establish himself as a fairly solid central defender.
With a contract until 2027, his recent comments haven't ruled out a move to Real Madrid. Aware of the significance of the Merengue team's interest, the player has expressed his excitement at being considered for the club.
Still, Beukema has made his priorities clear for this season. While Real Madrid need to sign a center-back as soon as possible, he doesn't want to leave his team alone for the rest of this campaign. A noble decision that, next summer, could be even more beneficial for the team by making a much easier transfer.
The Dutch star
With 1,637 minutes played this season, Sam Beukema could be facing his final months in Italy. Having shown his quality at modest Bologna, the player is preparing to make the important step of joining Real Madrid. Although everything, as usual, falls into the hands of the directors if they want to sign him.
