Roma working to finalise Abraham transfer to Besiktas | OneFootball

Roma are working to finalise an agreement with Besiktas over Tammy Abraham’s transfer as the Turkish side’s offer is €4-€5m short of the Giallorossi’s demands.

English striker Abraham is on the verge of joining Besiktas from Roma, and the two clubs are in talks to finalise an agreement by the end of the day.

Roma are required to make a profit by the formal end of the season today to avoid Financial Fair Play sanctions.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Roma demanded €20m for the English striker, but Besiktas’ offer was €4 4m-€5m lower than that, so the two clubs are now in talks to close the gap.

Abraham’s Roma salary is €5m per season, a sum that Besiktas may even improve upon, especially as they are preparing to sell Ciro Immobile to Bologna.

Abraham spent the last season on loan at Milan, scoring 10 goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.
