Di Marzio: Abraham-Saelemaekers swap getting closer as talks continue | OneFootball

AS Roma and AC Milan are getting close to agreeing on a swap deal that would see Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers switch clubs.

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, AS Roma and AC Milan have been holding positive talks with one another and believe that each club can do the other a favour late in the transfer window.

The Giallorossi have decided that Saelemaekers would give them a valuable option in the wide areas, especially given he seems willing to play as a full-back as well as a winger.

As for Milan, Fonseca would like another quality striker and Abraham has been singled out as the best option late in the transfer window.

The Englishman has struggled with injuries and would be a gamble in that regard, but he is clearly out of Roma’s plans given Eldor Shomurodov came off of the bench against Empoli when they needed a goal rather than Abraham.

Whilst there is a cooperation between the clubs for this deal, Roma are still hoping that they can beat Milan to the signing of Manu Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach given Milan need to sell Ismael Bennacer first before they are able to make a move for the Frenchman.
