Tammy Abraham to Besiktas: Roma Striker Transfer News

The English centre-forward spent the last season on loan at AC Milan, who have opted against his permanent transfer.

He struggled to nail down a starter role with Rossoneri, bagging 10 goals and seven goals in all competitions.

But he was crucial in Milan’s Italian Super Cup triumph after scoring in the finals against arch-rivals Inter Milan.

The 27-year-old has now reached an agreement with Besiktas after learning that he is not in Roma’s new manager Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans.

Abraham moved to Stadio Olimpico in 2021 from Chelsea in a deal worth £34 million at the request of former Roma manager Jose Mourinho.

He has registered 37 goals and 13 assists in 120 games for the Giallorossi and was instrumental in the Europa Conference League title victory in 2021/22.

Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg were showing concrete interest, but Abraham has accepted Besiktas’ proposal.

Giallorossi will pocket around €20 million from the Englishman’s sale.

Abraham will link up with former Manchester United manager Ole Gunner Solskjaer at Besiktas.

The Norwegian gaffer has been looking to sign a No.9 in the transfer window due to Ciro Immobile’s imminent departure.

The Italian striker, who netted 15 goals and four assists in the Super Lig last season, is set for a return to Serie A, with Bologna leading the race for his signing.

Abraham will spearhead Besiktas’ attack in the upcoming season and will be key in the Europa League Qualifiers.
