Bologna defender Sam Beukema was jubilant after reaching an important personal milestone.

Speaking to the club website, Sam Beukema reflected on achieving 50 appearances with Bologna since joining their ranks in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar. He said: “Reaching 50 appearances for Bologna is an important achievement in my career, and I am grateful to defend these colours in every competition. I’ll continue to work harder for this jersey.”

The 26-year-old has played 42 Serie A matches, three in the Coppa Italia and five in the Champions League for the Rossoblu. He played a significant role in the Emilian club’s historic qualification to the Champions League last season.

So far, Beukema is having a colossal season with Bologna as he tops the charts in passes completed, successful aerial duels, and defensive clearances from his team in the Serie A. The Dutchman reaffirmed his club’s quest to accomplish their set objectives this season as he said: “It’s time to look forward — we still have significant goals to achieve this season.”
