Chelsea has agreed to sell Tammy Abraham to Roma. According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea agreed to sell the player on a permanent basis. There would be a buy-back clause within the contract for €80m which be activated in 2023. The salary of the player would be around €4-5m per season until 2026. Also the player currently have 2 years left on his contract with Chelsea.

Tammy Abraham was reported holding back on the deal as he wished to be in England and play in the Premier League. This move would be quite important for the player. In fact, Roma had recently sold Edin Džeko to Inter Milan after Lukaku left Inter Milan for Chelsea. If you notice this was a three-way swap between the three clubs. Roma being the third piece of the puzzle helped them secure the deal for Tammy. Under Jose Mourinho, many strikers have had their most goal-scoring season as the legendary manager has been able to dig out the striker’s potential. Under him, Tammy Abraham can become one of the best English strikers in the world. While just being 23 and being the top goal scorer for Chelsea last season. It can be said the player has quite the eye for goal.

Why Did Roma Find It the Most Apt to Sign Tammy Abraham?

According to Transfermarkt, Tammy Abraham is currently the 23rd most valued forward in the league. While just being 23 means quite a bit in the form of a business. Tammy Abraham was a part of the Chelsea youth team and an English player. Additionally, it has been seen that many English talents have left their native league and gone overseas for a few seasons. During this time, the players grow up in football knowledge as well in the form of maturing up. For a case study, we could take Jadon Sancho. The player left Manchester City for a fee of around €5m to Borussia Dortmund. After sharpening his craft in the Bundesliga for 2 seasons and being called up to the England Euros squad. Moreover, the player made the move back to the English Premier League by signing for Manchester United for a fee of around €90m.

While for a club like Roma which isn’t in the best Financial Situation, this transfer is more of an investment by the club on the player’s talent. If the player in the next two seasons becomes the all-rounder striker many expect him to become, Chelsea could buy him back for €80m or another English club could sign him for a similar fee.
