Napoli are pushing to beat Inter Milan to the signing of Bologna defender Sam Beukema this summer transfer window.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market Gianluca Di Marzio. He reports, via FCInterNews, that the Partenopei have made the 26-year-old their main alternative to Atalanta’s Giorgio Scalvini.

Sam Beukema has emerged as a big name on the transfer market this summer.

The Dutchman joined Bologna in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar. And he has had two outstanding seasons with the Rossoblu.

Therefore, it is looking like Bologna will not be able to keep hold of Beukema this summer.

However, Inter are far from the only club keen on Beukema’s signature.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Napoli are really pushing to sign the Dutchman.

The Italian champions have made reinforcing their defense a priority for the summer transfer market.

Then, Napoli are also interested in Atalanta defender Giorgio Scalvini.

However, reports Di Marzio, Sam Beukema is the player Napoli are currently pushing to sign.
