Roma not worried Chelsea could recall this player

AS Roma director Tiago Pinto has disclosed that the Italian side are ‘not worried’ that Chelsea could re-sign Tammy Abraham.

This comes as the Blues included a buyback clause in the contract of the 24-year-old before he joined the Roma from Chelsea last summer.

There believes that his impressive form in the 2021-22 campaign, which has seen him score 17 goals and created four assists in 30 appearances in all competitions, could see Thomas Tuchel’s side consider bringing him back to Stamford Bridge.

However, Pinto, in a statement, revealed that the clause could not be activated this summer, and the Italian club are ‘not worried’ about potentially losing the England international.

“There’s a buyback clause into Abraham contract but it’s not going to be valid this summer – I’m not even worried, we’re happy with Tammy and he’s doing great,” Pinto told reporters.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, the €80m (£66.6m) buyback clause can be activated from June 2023.

During his time at Stamford Bridge, Abraham scored 30 goals and created 12 assists in 82 appearances for Chelsea before Jose Mourinho signed him to Roma.
