Roma 'want £40m for Manchester United-linked Tammy Abraham'

Roma will reportedly demand in the region of £40m if any club expresses a firm interest in Tammy Abraham this summer.

A number of Premier League clubs have reportedly learned the asking price of Roma forward Tammy Abraham.

The 25-year-old is currently nearing the end of his second campaign at Stadio Olimpico, one which can be described as a considerable success.

However, while Abraham has netted 36 goals and 12 assists from his 99 appearances in all competitions, just eight of those strikes have come in Serie A this season.

That has led to suggestions that Roma would be prepared to cash in on the England international this summer should any teams express an interest in his signature.

When Chelsea allowed Abraham to move to the Italian capital, they inserted a buy-back clause of £68m which is due to become active ahead of 2023-24.

In theory, that hands the Blues an advantage should they wish to secure a reunion with one of their most esteemed academy graduates, yet it appears that Roma may be willing to do business for significantly below that figure.

According to Calciomercato, a proposal worth €45m (£39.6m) may be enough to tempt Roma into a sale.

That would still represent a profit on the £34m that they shelled out in 2021, and such a fee will undoubtedly attract many clubs in the Premier League.

The report says that Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa - another former club of Abraham's - have had scouts present at Roma fixtures.

Paris Saint-Germain are also credited with an interest at a time when it is expected that they will make significant changes in the summer in order to balance their books.

In recent month, Chelsea have been linked with a potential reunion with Abraham when they are known to be in the market for a new senior frontman.

The likely arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, who allegedly wants a domestic core to his squad, and the need to find value for money due to a lack of European qualification may theoretically lead to an approach being followed up.

Roma dropped into seventh position in the Serie A standings on Wednesday night after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Monza, leaving the club two points adrift of the Champions League places.
