AC Milan have re-opened their pursuit for Tammy Abraham, and a report has suggested that the Rossoneri and AS Roma are looking to include a player in the deal.
In the past weeks, the links between Milan and Abraham have regained traction, and a report from this afternoon suggested that the reasoning was down to Fonseca. When the deal for Zirkzee halted, the Portuguese coach ‘specifically requested’ the management to re-open contact with the Englishman, which shows the level of his interest.
Of course, the mercato is as much about searching for profiles as well as players themselves, but the request from Fonseca for Abraham specifically speaks volumes about his interest in the striker.
If the interest is to come to fruition, the next steps are to talk about the price of a deal and there has been interest from the Rossoneri in using a player to lower the fee, and their offer of Luka Jovic was turned down, but the door is not closed.
This afternoon, a report from Calciomercato.com has suggested that the Diavolo have gone back to the drawing board and the ‘right quid pro quo’ will hopefully be found. Furthermore, the report suggested that Geoffrey Moncada is thinking of offering Alexis Saelemaekers, Lorenzo Colombo or Daniel Maldini as part of a deal.
However, the Giallorossi are looking at a player specifically – Noah Okafor.
It would be imagined that their request is refused, given the Rossoneri believe in the Swiss forward’s future, but it remains to be seen.
