Real Madrid will almost certainly look to sign a new centre-back in 2025, given the ACL injuries suffered by David Alaba and Eder Militao in the past 12 months. Antonio Rudiger is the only other fit senior option in the first team, so it has been decided that an addition is needed.
The likes of Castello Lukeba, Aymeric Laporte and Jorrel Hato have been linked in recent weeks, and now another option has emerged for the La Liga and European Champions. According to Caught OffsideBologna's Sam Beukema is on their radar.
City rivals Atletico Madrid are also interested in Beukema, who has impressed since moving to Serie A in the summer of 2023. Los Colchoneros will almost certainly need to sign central defenders next summer, as Axel Witsel and Cesar Azpilicueta are expected to leave at the end of the season.
Beukema would be a lower priced option Real Madridalthough given that he is already 26 years old, he does not fit into the club's transfer policy. However, that cannot be imported since the transfer window opens.
