Premier League sides Manchester United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are all keeping a close eye on Bologna center back Bikema, according to renowned journalist Skylar. The Dutch-born defender's recent performances in the Champions League have attracted interest from several Premier League clubs.
In the 2nd round of the Champions League, which ended in midweek, Bologna went down 0-2 to Liverpool at Anfield. Despite the team's failure to win, Biekema's performance in the match still caught the attention of scouts. According to reports, Aston Villa have sent scouts to check out Bikema's performance, while Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also keeping a close eye on the young center-back.
Bikma joined Bologna from Alkmaar in the summer window of 2023 for a fee of €9 million. According to the transfer agreement, Alkmaar also has a 20% share interest in Bikma's future secondary transfers. The 25-year-old Dutch center-back, who is currently valued at €18 million in the transfer market, will remain under contract with Bologna until 2027.
Bikma quickly became an important part of the team's backline after joining Bologna, and his performances have attracted a lot of attention from the European soccer world. With several Premier League clubs paying attention, Bikema's future is full of uncertainty. However, for Bologna, they may face stiff competition from the Premier League giants to retain the promising young defender.
