Inter Milan Coach Has Decided – Wants Bologna Star Signed This Summer

Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi wants the Nerazzurri to move for Bologna defender Sam Beukema next summer.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nerazzurri coach has decided on the 26-year-old as the ideal reinforcement in defense.

One area of the pitch where Inter will definitely make a big signing next summer is the centre of defense.

Currently, Stefan de Vrij and Francesco Acerbi are the main starters in that position.

Those two have been stalwarts for a few seasons now. However, they turn 33 and 37 respectively next month.

Moreover, Acerbi in particular has become increasingly injury-prone.

Therefore, a defender with the qualities to play in the centre of the back three is a priority for Inter.

Inter Milan Coach Wants Bologna Defender Sam Beukema

Inter have been monitoring a number of possible signings for the defense.

Among these have been two Bologna defenders. Sam Beukema and Jhon Lucumi have both certainly proven themselves in Serie A over the last couple seasons.

But according to Tuttosport, it is Beukema who has particularly convinced Inzaghi.

The Inter coach has indicated to his club that he wants the Dutchman to come in next summer.

Both in and out of possession, Inzaghi believes that Beukema could be the ideal player to be the heir to Acerbi and de Vrij.
