English striker Tammy Abraham is on the verge of a permanent move to Turkish giants Besiktas, after AS Roma accepted a €20 million bid, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The transfer will see Abraham, 27, reunite with former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who currently leads the Istanbul-based side.
Why the Move?
Despite receiving a similar offer from Zenit St. Petersburg, Abraham opted for Besiktas, reportedly drawn by the club’s competitive ambitions and lifestyle preferences in Turkey. His desire to play under Solskjaer again is also said to have influenced his decision.
Abraham’s Recent Form
-
2024–25 (Loan at AC Milan):
Appearances: 44
Goals: 10
Assists: 7 -
Total for AS Roma (2021–2024):
Appearances: 120
Goals: 37
Although his stint at Milan was solid, Abraham struggled to regain his earlier form after a long-term injury in 2023. A move to Besiktas could offer the fresh start he needs.
Contract Details
Abraham is expected to sign a multi-year deal with Besiktas, with a reported annual salary of €6 million.
What’s Next?
Besiktas, who are rebuilding under Solskjaer, see Abraham as a key piece in their push for domestic dominance and a return to European competition. For Abraham, the move offers consistent game time and a chance to relaunch his career in a competitive league with passionate support.
The official announcement is expected in the coming days once personal terms and medicals are completed.
