Il Romanista: Milan and Roma discussing loan for striker with swap idea declined

One of the finishing touches that Milan are looking for in the closing part of the summer transfer window is the signing of another centre-forward, and Tammy Abraham remains a target.

Milan signed Alvaro Morata to replace Olivier Giroud and it is likely that he will hold the starting spot, but Paulo Fonseca is looking for another option despite the fact that Luka Jovic’s contract was recently renewed.

According to Il Romanista, Abraham seems to be ‘increasingly close to leaving Roma’ in this current window and Milan would like to sign him, but under certain conditions. Fonseca does not want to lose Alexis Saelemaekers or Noah Okafor as a counterpart in the operation, which limits the options.

Roma are pushing for a loan with obligation to buy formula, while Milan would like the obligation to be conditional on the achievement of certain objectives. We will see if the negotiations for Abraham will be unblocked in the last month, but either way the Englishman seems destined to leave.

The Giallorossi signed Artem Dovbyk from Girona to be their starting striker for the future and this further pushes Abraham towards the exit door. At Milan he would reunited with Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, two players he knows well with the former in particular being a close friend.
