Deal Agreed: Chelsea striker accepts to join Roma

Tammy Abraham is supposedly close to joining Roma after the Italian side agreed a deal with Chelsea.

The England international was at that point undesirable under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea and has now slipped further down the pecking order following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku.

Inter Milan declared on Saturday that they had signed Edin Dzeko from Roma to fill the void left by Lukaku’s departure, which made Jose Mourinho’s side to turn their attention toward Abraham.

There had been a breakthrough in talks with Abraham after Roma raised their salary offer to £5m per year, as per reports on Friday and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano presently guarantees that the deal is “completed”.

Fabrizio Romano claims that the Blues will get £34m from the 23-year-old’s deal, and he will undergo his medical in the coming days prior to signing a deal with Roma.

Arsenal were also reputed to be in the running for Abraham, however the striker allegedly didn’t get any proposals from Mikel Arteta’s side, and Chelsea are perceived to have embedded a €80m (£68m) buyback clause into his Roma contract.

Abraham gets ready to leave Chelsea after scoring 30 goals and setting up 12 more in 82 games for the club, and he was an unused substitute in Saturday’s first day of the season Premier League win Crystal Palace.
