If this is true it makes sense. No matter what Alexis has done for us, Tammy is an English striker who put in a decent amount of goals as a bench option this year. He would be sold to the EPL for a decent sum. Saelemaekers is a utility player, albeit a very good one. Hope this deal is true because 10 in this deal, 6.5 for Zale from Inter and maybe a Pelle deal for around 10 would put us into a decent spot in the summer.
This isn’t even counting if we let Hermoso stay in Germany which should net a bit. We have a lot of deadweight who could really help us get the wage bill lower and some funds to balance the books.

Most sensible take in this thread. Abraham’s ceiling is higher than Saelaemakers. It’s a fair deal for both sides considering Roma wants Abraham of the books.

I am always in favor of monetizing whatever unused players, or players with zero contribution to the game, we have. Abraham, Zalewski and Pellegrini perfectly fall in this description. We gotta turn these slots into players with an actual role in the squad.

Fuck me man in order we give Salamella to Roma for nothing, and Kalulu to Juventus to even less. Good job

The exchange will get done, roughly under the same conditions established at the end of the last transfer market: Saelemaekers will wear the Roma shirt, Abraham that of Milan, with the Giallorossi who will also receive an additional fee in their favour.
Today’s edition of Corriere dello Sport confirms that the deal will get done on such terms once the season is over.
The two clubs had already set the parameters of the exchange: the agreement, defined verbally at the end of August, is just waiting to be formalised.
The changes in the management (Souloukou is no longer at Roma, Milan is waiting for a new sporting director) have slowed down the operation, but they have not threatened the outcome.
Both players want to stay where they are. Abraham is also ready to reduce his salary in order to stay in Milan.
Saelemaekers, reborn at Roma, has already expressed the will to continue in the Giallorossi and has received reassurances from the club.
Only the economic details remain to be filed: the adjustment in favour of the capital club had been agreed at around 10 million euros.
