What had been speculated for the past few weeks was officially confirmed just two hours before the transfer window closed in Italy: Tammy Abraham (26) has arrived at San Siro. According to initial reports, the English striker was supposed to become the property of AC Milan, with the seven-time European champion paying Roma 7 million euros and sending Alexis Saelemaekers to Rome. However, it turned out that the two clubs simply exchanged players on a one-year loan. So, as it currently stands, after one year, Abraham will return to Roma, and Saelemaekers will return to Milan. There is no information yet on whether either side has an option or obligation to buy.License to score 🔫 @tammyabraham #DNACMilan #SempreMilan pic.twitter.com/DWZRtKevL4— AC Milan (@acmilan) August 30, 2024 The occasional England international is one of the more high-profile signings for the Rossoneri in recent years, but it remains a big question as to what can be expected of him, given that he practically missed the entire previous season due to a serious injury. While playing for Roma, he scored 37 goals and provided 13 assists in 120 appearances. The Gialorossi also managed a great deal on the last day, as they bough Manu Kone from Borussia Monchengladbach. The German team held out for as long as they could, but practically at midnight before the window closed, they finally gave in. The German club had been seriously holding firm, demanding 25 million—causing Milan to drop out of the race—but Roma was determined to secure the French midfielder, showing enough persistence and ultimately being rewarded with one of the best deals of this transfer window. Considering this young player’s quality and the price paid (a fixed €18 million plus €2 million in bonuses), there’s no doubt that this is a major coup for Roma and Daniele De Rossi.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 3FridayVenezia – Torino 0-1 (0-0)/Coco 86/Inter – Atalanta 4-0 (3-0)/Djimsiti 3 og, Barella 10, Thuram 47, 56/Saturday19:30: (1.70) Bologna (3.70) Empoli (6.00)19:30: (2.30) Lecce (3.20) Cagliari (3.30)21:45: (2.85) Lazio (3.35) Milan (2.50)21:45: (1.50) Napoli (4.30) Parma (6.50)Sunday19:30: (2.05) Genoa (3.30) Verona (3.80)19:30: (1.70) Fiorentina (3.60) Monza (5.40)21:45: (1.80) Juventus (3.50) Roma (4.70)21:45: (2.10) Udinese (3.35) Como (3.60)***odds are subject to change***
