Tammy Abraham, the former Premier League striker, is being eyed by Leeds United for a potential move, even as Abraham currently plays for AC Milan on loan from Roma. The 27-year-old Englishman has been making waves in Italian football, and his future in the sport is a topic of keen interest for clubs and fans alike.
AC Milan and Roma are slated for discussions in the coming months about the future of the high-performing striker. Reports from Calciomercato indicate that AC Milan, who finished as runners-up last season, are considering the possibility of signing the former Chelsea center-forward on a permanent basis.
Abraham has been making a strong case for himself, proving his worth repeatedly on the field. Even after signing Santiago Gimenez, Milan hasn’t ruled out Abraham’s permanent addition. The striker’s brace against his parent club Roma in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals has strengthened his position, grabbing the attention of Milan’s directors.
AC Milan continues its impressive run in the Coppa Italia, reaching the semi-finals for the fifth time in the last eight seasons. Their recent victory over Roma, a thrilling 3-1 win at San Siro, was made more memorable by Abraham’s brace against his parent club. The match underscored Abraham’s potential to perform exceptionally even under pressure.
The game further cemented Abraham’s position in Milan and hinted at the possibility of his future lying away from his parent club, Roma. Abraham took to social media to express his disappointment at some Roma fans’ behavior during the Coppa Italia quarter-final, which he described as ‘not nice.’
AC Milan’s advancement to the semi-finals, courtesy of their 3-1 victory over Roma, also witnessed an impressive performance by debutants off the bench. Among the players who received accolades for their performance in the recent Serie A derby between AC Milan and Inter Milan was Dutch player Stefan de Vrij. His performance was highlighted by TuttoMercatoWeb, who reported the favorable scores he received in the player ratings across Italian media.
However, Milan faces a significant challenge in convincing Feyenoord to sell Santiago Gimenez during the January transfer window. Both Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham failed to score for Milan against Parma, raising questions about their ability to lead the line moving forward.
In other news from Milan, Kyle Walker has officially joined the club, signing a loan deal until the end of the 2024-25 season with an option to buy clause at a price of €5m. Walker expressed his excitement about joining Milan and revealed how David Beckham and colleague Tammy Abraham influenced his decision to move to San Siro.
Despite Abraham’s popularity in the dressing room, his performances have often been seen as lacking the level needed for AC Milan. However, there are signs of this changing. In his initial days at the club, Abraham appeared to be settling into a role that isn’t typically associated with an end-of-mercato move.
AC Milan’s thrilling comeback to win their eighth Supercoppa Italiana title against arch-rivals Inter 3-2 in Riyadh was a highlight of the season. Abraham’s winning goal against Inter in the Supercoppa Italiana was a crowning glory, but there is a desire for more from the striker.
Abraham expressed his sentiment about Milan being a ‘special’ group following their nail-biting 2-1 home victory against Red Star Belgrade. The Roma loanee scored off the bench to inspire Milan to their third consecutive UEFA Champions League win for the first time since 2005.
Despite a 2-1 loss to Fiorentina in its Italian Serie A matchup, Milan could have triumphed 3-2 had they successfully converted two penalties awarded in the game.
Meanwhile, a Premier League club is reportedly exploring a potential deal for Abraham, adding another layer of intrigue to the striker’s future in football.
