This week, reports from the English media claimed AS Roma are interested in offering Chelsea Tammy Abraham in a deal for the permanent transfer of Romelu Lukaku.
With the Giallorossi still planning how to keep the Belgian forward, this was mentioned as a solution they could have to convince the Blues.
As the Italian media now brings a response to this rumour, Calcio Mercato comes up to say this story indeed makes sense.
What remains to be seen is whether Chelsea would like to have the English striker back at Stamford Bridge, although the story does say the Blues re after a centre-forward.
Roma’s valuation of Abraham is said to be of €52m. Since Lukaku has been reported to be worth less, maybe the London club would need to put some money on the table to make that operation possible.
Abraham is recovering from a knee injury and is expected to return in January. Since his departure from Chelsea, he has 36 goals and 12 assists in 107 appearances for the Italian club.
