Big transfer news just dropped, and it’s got the rumor mill spinning! According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Tammy Abraham is set to sign a four-year deal with Turkish giants Besiktas for a €20M permanent transfer from AS Roma.
The deal’s been verbally agreed, and Tammy’s already packing his bags for Turkey to complete his medical and finalize the paperwork. This move sees him linking up with former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who’s now steering the ship at Besiktas. 🚨⚽️
So, let’s break it down. Abraham, the 27-year-old English striker, had a rollercoaster ride at Roma. He burst onto the scene in 2021 with 27 goals in his debut season, helping Roma clinch the Europa Conference League. But injuries, including a tough ACL tear in 2023, and a dip in form saw him score just nine goals the next year. His recent loan at AC Milan showed flashes of brilliance—10 goals and seven assists in 45 games—but it wasn’t enough to secure a permanent spot. Now, Besiktas is betting on him to lead their attack in the Süper Lig and Europa League qualifiers.
This transfer feels like a win-win. Roma needed to raise €13M by June 30 to meet Financial Fair Play rules, and this deal gets them there. Tammy, meanwhile, gets a fresh start in a competitive league with a passionate fanbase, plus the chance to work under Solskjaer, who’s aiming to rebuild Besiktas into a powerhouse. The reported €6M annual salary ain’t too shabby either
But here’s where it gets spicy: is this the right move for Tammy? The Süper Lig is physical and fast-paced, which suits his 6’4” frame and aerial dominance, but some fans on X are calling it a step down from Serie A. Others say it’s the perfect place for him to “revive his career” after a rough few years. And what about Besiktas splashing €20M (a club record!)—smart business or overpaying for a player who “peaked early”?
