Mediaset: De Rossi shows interest in Milan defender – potential Abraham makeweight

AS Roma coach Daniele De Rossi is interested in signing Davide Calabria from AC Milan this summer and it could help to facilitate a move for Tammy Abraham in the other direction. 

As reported by Sport Mediaset (via Milan News), the Roma coach, who is embarking on his first full season in charge of the Giallorossi, thinks that Calabria would be a valuable signing for his team.

There could be a transfer domino effect taking place very soon as Milan are getting very close to finding an agreement with Tottenham to sign Emerson Royal, another right-back.

Whilst there is no active desire to sell Calabria, there is scope for Milan to use the Italian right-back as part of the deal to sign Abraham from Roma.

Paulo Fonseca has told the club that he would like them to sign Abraham so that he can have two established Serie A strikers to choose from rather than just Alvaro Morata and Luka Jovic.

Noah Okafor, Jovic and Divock Origi have been mentioned as a counterpart in a deal for Abraham but it seems that Calabria is the player that really interested De Rossi rather than any of the aforementioned.

It remains to be seen whether Calabria would want to make that move or not, and it would almost certainly be dependent on Emerson arriving.
