AC Milan and Roma seem to be taking steps forward in the talks over a deal which will see Tammy Abraham and Alexis Saelemaekers swap clubs, at least according to Fabrizio Romano.
Milan were intensely linked with the signing of another striker after Alvaro Morata’s arrival, and Abraham was reported as the No.1 target when it became obvious that he is no longer a part of Daniele De Rossi’s plans at Roma.
The idea of a swap deal quickly followed that but then the stories went quiet for a couple of weeks, with the former Chelsea forward even tipped to join West Ham United. However, yesterday the rumours fired up again that Abraham could join his good friend Fikayo Tomori at Milan.
According to Romano, Abraham has made it clean that he ‘wants a Milan move’ and talks over personal terms are already at the final stages, while on the flip side Saelemaekers ‘also wants the move to AS Roma’.
Milan and Roma are working on details of what will be a swap deal, but will involve a cash sum ‘in excess of €10m’ passing from the Rossoneri to the Giallorossi, implying that they agree on Abraham having a substantially higher valuation.
