AC Milan are looking to add another striker from the market after Alvaro Morata. It seems that a deal will be completed soon with AS Roma: the talks involve Alexis Saelemaekers as a counterpart plus cash in favour of the capital-based club.
For Roma, Saelemaekers is not just an idea but a concrete target. According to Calciomercato.com, Florent Ghisolfi, AS Roma's technical director, has a plan, and it is to acquire the Belgian winger regardless of the swap deal.
For this reason, an agreement has been reached with the Belgian for his move to Roma.
Since last night, Roma and Milan have intensified their contacts to assess the feasibility of the deal. A conference call took place between Milan's CEO, Giorgio Furlani, and Roma's CEO, Lina Souloukou, to understand the economic basis for the negotiation. After today's final contacts, the deal is close to being finalized.
AC Milan's proposal to sign Tammy Abraham...
Milan's proposal is to include Saelemaekers with a valuation of 17 million euros and add an economic adjustment of 4/5 million euros. Roma values Abraham at 22 million and does not want to value Saelemaekers above the 12 million euros set for his buyout from Bologna, which was not exercised at the end of last season.
The initial 10 million gap is narrowing, however, and the two sides are getting closer to finalising the deal.
Abraham is very eager to join Milan where he will reunite with his dear friend and former teammate at Chelsea, Fikayo Tomori. As for Alexis Saelemaekers, he is waiting for news and has agreed to move to Roma.
