Di Marzio: Fonseca ‘crazy’ about Roma forward but exit must occur first

Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that new AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca is ‘crazy’ about Tammy Abraham and is desperate to have the Englishman in his squad.

Di Marzio was interviewed by Il Giornale (via Milan News) about the rest of Milan’s transfer market and it is clear that Fonseca really wants to see another striker come through the door.

Having now announced the signing of Emerson Royal, Milan are going to be focusing on signing a midfielder with Youssouf Fofana as the primary option.

Beyond that, a new striker is now viewed as more of a benefit rather than an absolute necessity. For that reason, Fonseca may not get his wish of signing the Roma forward who recently professed that he is focused on resurrecting his Giallorossi career after a long spell out injured.

Di Marzio explained that Abraham signing for Milan is very dependent on what Luka Jovic does in the final two weeks. A departure for the Serbian would massively boost Fonseca’s chances of getting Abraham.

There is the idea of including Jovic in a deal for Abraham, but Roma coach Daniele De Rossi is not thought to be interested.

Abraham was supposedly Fonseca’s first-choice before Alvaro Morata so there is clearly a huge amount of admiration there.

    1. Absolutely spot on. Garbage for years at Chelsea. How many more ex-Chelsea players do Milan want to sign. There’s a reason they were/are moved on – not good enough.

  1. fully agree had 1 good season in roma 26 goals but 2nd season 54 games 9 goals? this season 12 games 1 goals 1 assist and chelsea had 1 good season i dont get what the heck fonseca sees in abraham

  2. Jovic is not good enough to be a striker no.2, but neither is Abraham.

    However… as seen with Zirkzee, there is lack of strikers so even a mediocre guy like Zirkzee with 1 good season is nowadays worth over 50mil.

    I’d like to see someone from Eredivisie – relatively cheap and who knows, maybe they’ll fly. Brobbey or Gimenez?

    1. Dude said he’d like somebody cheap then throws outnames with 40+M price tags

      Also jovic was free. This is what cheap gets you. But he isn’t good enough, a? Origi was free. Not good enough, a?

      You can’t have it both ways.

        1. You can go fuk yourself you stupid little Toby. I know more about football that your little brain could learn in 5 lifetimes.. so limited with that tiny brain.

          Supposedly we use only 10% of our brain. You’re at about 3% of it.. and it will never get higher for your

    2. Brobbey is likely to go for 25mil.

      For Gimenez nobody would pay more than 40, also room for negotiations.

      Verify before writing 😉

      1. You just made those numbers up. Go ahead, call ajax and ask them how much they’d sell brobbey for. As for Gimenez, someone will pay 40M for him. Just because you think nobody will doesn’t mean a Premier club won’t jump and pay it…

        So naive.. innocent in the ways of world?
