AS Roma will be happy to accept a bid to sell 28-year-old English striker Tammy Abraham in the winter transfer window amid his links with Aston Villa.
According to a report by a Football Insider, Tammy Abraham is the subject of interest from Aston Villa. The Villans are eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a versatile attacker in the winter transfer window. So, the 28-year-old striker has emerged as a target for the West Midlands outfit amid his exploits for Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas.
A mid-season switch may materialise, even though it is not straightforward. AS Roma will be happy to back-track on the purchase obligation agreement in the loan deal with Besiktas to accept a bid to seal a permanent exit for the Englishman. However, all three clubs must be on the same wavelength to ensure a move sees the light of day.
How has Tammy Abraham fared in recent years?
Tammy Abraham has endured a topsy-turvy ride since leaving Chelsea. He joined AS Roma in August 2021 and enjoyed an exceptional debut season. However, poor form and fitness issues plagued him in the next two and a half years, sending him tumbling in the pecking order. AC Milan signed the 28-year-old striker on loan from AS Roma for the 2024/25 season, and he endured a frustrating loan spell.
However, the English striker has enjoyed a resurgent run this season, as he has scored 12 goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances across all competitions during his loan spell with Besiktas. Meanwhile, Abraham’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Aston Villa will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the winter transfer window.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Aston Villa’s interest in Tammy Abraham is understandable. The Villans have been combing the market for a versatile attacker heading into the winter transfer window. While Unai Emery’s men have been exceptional in the 2025/26 season after a slow start, their offensive output has not been sustainable.
Aston Villa’s overdependence on Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers may prove dangerous as the games come thick and fast in the second half of the 2025/26 season. Several candidates, including Omar Marmoush, have thus emerged on Aston Villa’s wishlist, with Abraham also a viable target, as he will not cost a bomb.
Recent reports have suggested that a mid-season deal for the 28-year-old Englishman may materialise, with Aston Villa in talks with Besiktas and AS Roma to seal a move. The latest update has revealed that the Serie A giants want a permanent sale in the winter transfer window, and they are ready to back-track on the purchase obligation clause inserted into the loan arrangement. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Abraham.
