AS Roma have found an agreement with Chelsea to sign Tammy Abraham, but are facing competition from Arsenal to secure his services.
Tiago Pinto, the Serie A side’s sporting director made a trip to London, where he was to have a ‘decisive’ meeting on Thursday with both the Blues and the 23-year-old’s agent.
Sky Italia again stress the Giallorossi have reached an agreement with Thomas Tuchel’s side for a loan deal with redemption obligation of €40m.
They have to ‘convince’ the striker to get the deal over the line and José Mourinho’s side, as of now, haven’t managed to do that because he has a ‘proposal on the table from Arsenal’.
This has convinced Pinto to push for his signing, which is why a ‘new meeting’ is set to take place between the Roma chief and the player’s agent on Friday.
Pinto plans to stay in the English capital until the frontman gives a definite answer and if he decides against joining Roma, the director will look at other options his side are currently evaluating.
