Dutch Central Defender Joins Antonio Conte`s Squad After Two Seasons; Set to Arrive for Tuesday`s Pre-Season Gathering.
The deal is confirmed. Antonio Conte has successfully secured his new central defender. Negotiations with Bologna for Sam Beukema have concluded, with the transfer fee estimated at approximately €30 million, plus additional bonuses. The 26-year-old Dutch international is expected to arrive in Naples this coming Tuesday to join the reigning Italian champions for their pre-season training camp.
This transfer fulfills Beukema`s long-standing desire, as his representatives had repeatedly communicated his wish to depart to Bologna`s management, who had initially tried to persuade him to stay. Beukema originally joined Bologna in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar for around €8 million.
