Al Hilal Targets Napoli Defender Sam Biukema

Al Hilal's management has begun its moves in the summer transfer market to strengthen the defense, responding to the needs of Italian coach Simone Inzaghi ahead of the new season.

Italian media reports indicate that Al Hilal has contacted Napoli officials to inquire about the possibility of signing Dutch defender Sam Biukema during the current transfer window.

Al Hilal's interest in the player comes after his impressive performances in Serie A, where he has caught the eye with his defensive skills and consistent level with his team.

Sam Biukema has gained experience from various stints in Dutch and Italian leagues, having played for Go Ahead Eagles, AZ Alkmaar, and Bologna before moving to Napoli.

The Dutch defender played 24 matches in Serie A during the 2025-2026 season, starting in 18 of them, solidifying his place in the team's lineup.

Al Hilal hopes to finalize the deal during the summer transfer window to bolster the squad with players capable of executing Inzaghi's ideas and competing for all titles.
