Heading into his fifth season at Union Berlin, Surinamese speedy forward Sheraldo Becker knows he’s just had his best season in the Bundesliga – and he’s keen to improve. However, a move to a bigger club isn’t entirely out of his mind. The 2022/23 campaign saw the Amsterdam-born attacker take his goals tally up to 11 and boasted a season-best seven assists with Union in the Bundesliga. His progress went hand-in-hand with that of the German capital club. Together, they rose to the top four in the division and qualified for the UEFA Champions League.##NAJAVA_MECA_7400029##Union’s president Dirk Zingler admitted he wasn’t sure Becker would still be at the club at the end of the transfer window. After four seasons in Berlin, the Suriname international might want a change.”It’s well known that he wants to take another step for himself privately and financially. We accept that as a club.”According to Bild, newly-promoted Burnley and West Ham United and Fulham have been looking at the possibility of signing the $20 million-rated forward. Kicker suggests that an unnamed Serie A club enquired about him too.The man in question told RBB the most important to him is that his wife and three children are happy.”I’m pleased here, and so is my family. Everyone knows that. We live in Berlin, an incredible city. But, of course, I have the ambition to play in another league at some point. But I’m not pushing it. I’m really happy here, and I always have a smile on my face in training. That’s how I’ve lived my whole life. If it’s supposed to happen, it happens; if it’s not, that’s okay too.”The hills are alive…@SheraldoBecker and @DatroDavid pic.twitter.com/CXp9A1WNna— 1.
