Tammy Abraham has made it clear that he sees his future at AC Milan in an ideal world, and talks are expected with Roma to try create those conditions.
Regardless of what happens between now and the end of the season, plus what happened before and what will happen in the summer, Abraham will remain the man who scored a 93rd-minute winner in a Milan derby to win a trophy that was the club’s 50th.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) rewind the tape to the end of August, when Abraham arrived rather at the last minute with Alexis Saelemaekers going the other way to Roma in a loan swap. The English striker immediately showed commitment and dedication, with the hopes to make it a permanent stay.
Then, after the events in the Fiorentina with the penalty snatched from Christian Pulisic and missed, followed by physical issues and not many goals, it really did look like being a one-season adventure in the red and black for the former Chelsea man.
Now, after the goal in Riyadh and the arrival of Sergio Conceicao, things might just have changed for the better.Abraham is happy in Milan and would like to stay at the club, but it will not depend only on him.
One thing is certain and that is that the 27-year-old considers his time at Roma to be over. The Giallorossi had already cast him aside in the summer, which is why he left the team, and the relationship with the fans is no longer as idyllic as it was, with Roma fans booing him at San Siro.
On the other hand, Alexis Saelemaekers is also very happy in the capital and above all with Claudio Ranieri he is carving out an important role for himself. Roma wants to keep him and in the next few hours contacts are expected between the Giallorossi and the Rossoneri to study the situation.
The sporting director Ghisolfi is in Milan for the Lega Serie A meeting and could make a small detour in the direction of Casa Milan. The objective is to keep the respective players but making sure that the operations are positive on the balance sheet.
him, Morata and Camarda being our depth players would be ok for me.
Rashford needs a proper partner now or in the summer.
No thanks!
If Okafor leaves, there’s no way we don’t sign Abraham. His winner in the supercup pays for his transfer in full.
Look, I was really angry and wanted Abraham back in Rome after that stupid penalty fiasco. But recently he’s been saving us on important games in the champions League and the supercup. I’d keep him and he seems willing to be a backup which is good.
Abraham Is good, he need times and trust from the coach. I actually feel better when he plays than morata.
No thanks!
Appreciate the tap in an all
Morata is on a big contract for years to come, Camarda will be 3rd choice.
We need a serious striker NOW, it’s been years. Stop wasting time and money and go get a good one!
Gotta agree. I don’t think Abraham has done much to earn a stay at 4mil/season. Makes the same as Puli yet his numbers don’t even come close…
They’ve only played him for 942 minutes, and he has 6 goals and 4 assists. That’s nearly a goal a game based on his minutes played.
Are you really complaining about his output?
Yes! A goal contribution/game, not a goal a game. That’s an expensive bench warmer. And most of those are tap ins. He doesn’t create. Sure, he’s at the right place at the right time. But we can do better. We already have Morata on a contract.
We need to reinforce Conceicao’s plans and completely back him. And if he says he needs something better than Tammy, then be it.
Tap ins that Morata doesn’t make because he’s somewhere outside the box. Usually midfield.
Secondly to get back to being a good club with quality depth on the bench. Then we should be having options with that level of salary and experience to call upon.
Roma will want 25ML. It’s too much for a player with his salary and injury problems and goal contribution.
The reality is he is not a huge player, or a bad player either. If the team suits his playstyle like it did on his first year in Roma he is a decent player. If the team plays a different game he.. is not great. Look at dovbyk in Roma now. He SUCKS. But he was unbelievable last year in Spain..
Keep him. He’s looked a lot more formidable on goal than other crap we’ve had in the past.
