Roma Accepts €20 Million Offer for England International
Roma striker Tammy Abraham is set to join Turkish giants Besiktas in a €20 million transfer deal this summer, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport. The move will see the 27-year-old England international play under the guidance of former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Abraham, who spent the entirety of last season on loan at AC Milan, is now looking to secure a permanent move away from Roma. During his loan spell with the Italian club, the forward contributed significantly to Milan's campaign, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists across 44 appearances in all competitions.
The €20 million transfer fee represents a substantial financial boost for Roma, while Abraham himself is expected to earn approximately €6 million per year at his new club. Reports indicate that the striker has already declined an offer from Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg, preferring the move to Turkey instead.
Abraham's Career Journey
Abraham began his senior career at Chelsea before joining Roma in 2021. His time in Italy has been marked by both successes and challenges, with his loan move to AC Milan last season representing an effort to revitalize his career after facing competition for playing time at Roma.
The striker has previously expressed interest in visiting Nigeria, despite choosing to represent England at the international level over the Super Eagles. Abraham has Nigerian heritage through his father, which has maintained a connection with Nigerian football fans throughout his career.
This transfer to Besiktas marks a new chapter in Abraham's career, as he joins a club with significant ambitions in both domestic and European competitions. The opportunity to work under Solskjaer, known for his development of attacking talent during his time at Manchester United, could prove beneficial for Abraham's career progression.
