Tammy Abraham is leaving Roma again, this time permanently.
The English striker has accepted Besiktas’ offer and will be the new number 9 of the Turkish club, taking over from Immobile.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the deal resulted in Roma earning 17 million euros, a figure that, combined with the sales of Zalewski to Inter (6.3 million), Dahl to Benfica (5.5 million) and Le Fée to Sunderland (almost 2 million), allowed the club to close the 2024/25 budget to be presented to UEFA almost in balance.
The transfer of the striker, who arrived in 2021 for 40 million from Chelsea, was decisive on the economic front, even if it was not enough to completely fill the gap.
The Friedkin ownership, as the sports newspaper points out, has chosen a hard line: “Better a fine than selling off the players Gasperini likes”. A choice that also affected, for example, the future of Evan Ndicka, whom the club shielded despite several offers.
