Tammy Abraham seemed destined to fall out of favor after Milan signed Santiago Gimenez, but he has instead outperformed the newcomer in the last couple of months. The Rossoneri are more seriously considering keeping him past his loan spell, Mediaset informs.
Conversely, Roma would like to retain Alexis Saelemaekers, who has had a very solid season. The teams are slated to rediscuss such a swap on a permanent basis, although they’ll have to concur on the price tag of the two players. The Belgian winger was valued a lot less than the striker in the summer. It’s one of the main reasons why the trade only happened through temporary spells.
Milan ask for €25M to sell the 25-year-old, given the level of his displays this campaign, and Abraham could get to the same level if he kept it up. He has scored just thrice in Serie A but has been instrumental in the Rossoneri’s deep Coppa Italia run and was a key contributor in their Supercoppa Italiana triumph.
The English center-forward would also need to come to terms on his salary. It is a tad rich for the club’s standards. He took a small pay cut this season. Both players are under contract with their respective teams until 2027.
He’s not too shabby when he manages to avoid injuries for a few weeks, as his energy and movements are always useful. The main problem is that he’s too expensive not to be the top option. Unless they have burned such a bridge, they should mull over keeping Saeleamekers in their squad.
