Exclusive: Beukema medical imminent ahead of Napoli move | OneFootball

Sam Beukema to Napoli – there was never any doubt, not even the slightest.

From our very first and absolutely exclusive report on March 13 (a name that was never previously linked to De Laurentiis’ club) to the green light expected in the coming hours, it just so happens that it’s exactly four months since our original scoop.

In the meantime, a hollow narrative has arrived: up until a few days ago, people were still talking about Chalobah and even Scalvini, when in fact Napoli have been working solely on the Bologna defender.

Confirmation also arrives on the figures (as we exclusively reported earlier in the week): around €30 million, give or take bonuses. And on the medicals: on Friday evening we revealed Napoli’s intention to have both Noa Lang and Beukema undergo their medicals by Tuesday. By now, these are all thoroughly confirmed details.
