Liverpool -Baas Arne Slot would like to add to his team after he led the Reds to the Premier League title during his debut campaign in Anfield and could visit a former target
Liverpool -target Sam Beukema would enjoy the opportunity to play in the Premier League, despite the already rejecting Arne Slot. The Bologna defender is connected to a move to Anfield this summer while the Reds -Baas is trying to strengthen his defense for their defending defense.
Should Liverpool chase him this summer, it would be the second time that the fellow countryman tried to recruit Beukema. He also tried to take him to the Dutch side Feyenoord while he was Eagles at Go To Go.
It even went as far as the defender who visited the house of Slot for conversations and a presentation about how he fitted in Slot's side. He revealed the meeting at De Telegraaf and said: “My uncle was even more excited than me! It was really a good conversation and he showed me things that I had never thought of before.
“You could see that he approached football with other managers and I had a very good feeling – and my uncle too. He said I had to go there, but I said,” Let's wait. “
And while Slot clearly impressed Beukema, the Center-Back finally decided to draw for Feyenoord's Eredivisie-Rivalen AZ Alkmaar. Slot contacted him again after his future was decided, while they were reunited earlier this season when Liverpool took the current Bologna Van Beukema in the Champions League.
Beukema added: “He sent me a text message and wished me good luck and said that unfortunately you did not choose for 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 we are here at this level “.
“He said,” You played a good game and surprised us, we did not expect that you would be so aggressive and do it so well with the ball “. I think he expected a simpler game, but gave us a very big compliment.”
There could be another reunion between lock and Beukema in the near future in the midst of the constant tires to Liverpool. The latter has suggested that he would like to test himself in England, but is not in a hurry to leave his current side.

“I have been following the Premier League since I was a young child and I love the competition,” said Beukema. “For me it is perhaps the best competition to play in. I play in a real main class, but the Premier League is slightly different with all the big teams, the high level. You also see the atmosphere and it is great.
“Let's look. 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 that something special is coming. We have these two goals and they both want to achieve. We want to write history with the final. It will be really big for this club.”
