West Ham United Makes a Move
On Wednesday, Sky Italia reported that West Ham United has made an offer to sign AS Roma striker Tammy Abraham. Although initial details of the proposal were scarce, Calciomercato has provided more insight into the potential transfer.
Abraham’s Future in the Balance
The 26-year-old forward seems poised to leave the Serie A side, with West Ham United among the clubs vying for his signature this summer. However, they face stiff competition from AC Milan, who are also keen on acquiring the Englishman.
AC Milan’s Strategy
AC Milan is eager to secure Abraham but has yet to meet AS Roma’s €25 million asking price. They are exploring various options, including a loan with a buying option or incorporating one of their own players in the deal. According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma has shown interest in Noah Okafor and might accept him as part of the transaction for Abraham. This has been corroborated by Calciomercato, which states that the Rossoneri will have to fend off competition from West Ham to sign the former Chelsea player.
West Ham’s Offer and Abraham’s Preference
Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham has reportedly made an attempt to sign Abraham, offering up to €30 million. Despite this substantial bid, Abraham is said to prefer a move to AC Milan. A transfer to the San Siro would allow him to play in the Champions League and reunite with his former Chelsea teammate, Fikayo Tomori.
West Ham’s Alternative Plans
It’s important to note that West Ham is also on the verge of strengthening their attack with Borussia Dortmund star Niclas Füllkrug. This addition might mean that the Abraham option is no longer a priority for the Hammers.
Conclusion
As the transfer window progresses, Tammy Abraham’s future remains uncertain. Both West Ham United and AC Milan are making strong bids to secure his services, but Abraham’s preference for Milan could influence the final outcome. This transfer saga highlights the intense competition among top European clubs to bolster their squads with quality players.
