Tammy Abraham Nears £17m Roma Exit for Besiktas Move

Tammy Abraham is set to leave Roma for a £17-20 million transfer to Turkish club Besiktas, where he will reunite with former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Abraham, 27, spent the last season on loan at AC Milan, scoring 10 goals in 44 appearances, but failed to secure a permanent move there. Roma have accepted Besiktas' offer to ease their wage bill, with Abraham reportedly set to earn around €6 million annually in Turkey, a potential salary increase from his current €5 million at Roma. The striker started strongly in Italy but his goal-scoring has declined over the past few seasons, prompting Roma to offload him alongside other departures. Besiktas, led by Solskjaer since January 2025, are bolstering their squad with ex-Premier League talents, including Abraham joining alongside players like Ciro Immobile and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Abraham declined a move to Zenit St. Petersburg, favoring the Turkish Super Lig challenge and the chance to work with Solskjaer again.
