Liverpool target drops transfer hint after talks with Arne Slot at boss's home
Liverpool boss Arne Slot is keen on adding to his squad after leading the Reds to the Premier League title during his debut campaign at Anfield and could revisit a former target Liverpool target Sam Beukema would relish the chance to play in the Premier League despite already turning down Arne Slot. The Bologna defender has been linked with a move to Anfield this summer as the Reds boss attempts to bolster his defence ahead of their title defence. Should Liverpool end up pursuing him this summer, it would be the second time that compatriot Slot has attempted to recruit Beukema. He also attempted to take him to Dutch side Feyenoord while he was with Go Ahead Eagles. It even went as far as the defender visiting Slot's home for talks and a presentation on how he fit into Slot's side. Revealing the meeting to The Telegraph, he said: 'My uncle was even more excited than me! It was a really good conversation and he showed me things that I hadn't thought of before. 'You could see he approached football differently to other managers and I had a really good feeling – and so did my uncle. He told me to go there but I said, 'let's wait'.' And while Slot clearly made an impression on Beukema, the centre-back eventually decided to sign for Feyenoord 's Eredivisie rivals AZ Alkmaar. Slot got in touch with him once again once his future was decided, while they were also reunited once again earlier this season as Liverpool took on Beukema's current side Bologna in the Champions League. Beukema added: 'He texted me and wished me good luck and said unfortunately you did not choose us, but I wish you the best for the future. We played Liverpool this season and I spoke with him, he asked how I was and said, 'Now at this level, we are here'. 'He said, 'You played a good game and surprised us, we didn't expect you to be so aggressive and do so well with the ball'. I think he expected an easier game, but gave us a really big compliment.' There could yet be another reunion between Slot and Beukema in the near future amid the ongoing links to Liverpool. The latter has suggested that he would be keen to test himself in England but is not in a rush to leave his current side. Would Beukema be a good signing for Liverpool? Share your thoughts in the comments below 'I've been following the Premier League since I was a young kid and I love the competition,' Beukema said. 'For me it is maybe the best league to play in. I'm playing in a really big league, but the Premier League is something different with all the big teams, the high level. You see the atmosphere also and it is amazing. 'Let's see. I always like to challenge myself. I challenge myself a lot at Bologna, but I don't know what will happen in the future. You can feel something special is coming here. We have these two objectives and want to achieve them both. We want to make history with the final. It will be really big for this club.'

Report – Inter Milan Tracking Bologna & Colombia Defender
Jhon Lucumi has joined his Bologna teammate Sam Beukema on Inter Milan's shortlist of transfer targets in defense this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Colombian particularly impressed Inter with his performance on Sunday. Advertisement One thing that looks certain is that Inter Milan will sign a defender this summer. The futures of Stefan de Vrij and particularly Francesco Acerbi are up in the air. Both have been defensive stalwarts for the Nerazzurri, but are well into their thirties. Therefore, a major priority in the transfer window will be to bring new blood into the defense. The profile that Inter are after would be a defender who can play the same role as de Vrij and Acerbi. The Nerazzurri are seeking a physical centre-back with strong man-marking ability. They want a player who can play in the centre of the back three. Jhon Lucumi Joins Sam Beukema On Inter Milan Shortlist In Defense BOLOGNA, ITALY – APRIL 20: Lautaro Martinez of FC Internazionale passes the ball whilst under pressure from Jhon Lucumi of Bologna during the Serie A match between Bologna and FC Internazionale at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on April 20, 2025 in Bologna, Italy. (Photo by) One player who Inter are very keen on is Bologna defender Sam Beukema. Advertisement It's no secret that the Nerazzurri are tracking the Dutchman. His consistent performances in the Bologna backline have marked him out as an ideal heir to de Vrij and Acerbi. However, Beukema is not the only player on Inter's shortlist. Udinese defender Oumar Solet has if anything jumped ahead of Beukema on the Nerazzurri's radar. But that's not all. In fact, the Gazzetta report, there's another Bologna player who Inter are also keen on. It was Beukema who Inter were most closely watching in Sunday's Serie A clash with Bologna. That was a disappointing match for the Nerazzurri, putting it mildly. And a key reason for this was that the Rossoblu kept their attack completely quiet. Advertisement Beukema put in an impressive performance. But even more impactful was Colombian international centre-back Jhon Lucumi. Lucumi signed for Bologna from Genk in the summer of 2022. And he has become a regular in the starting eleven this season under Vincenzo Italiano. Inter will not have failed to notice the impeccable man-marking job that Lucumi did on Inter captain Lautaro Martinez. Therefore, the Gazzetta report, the Nerazzurri are considering the Colombian as a possible transfer target this summer.
