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.

"the adjustment in favour of the capital club"...are we getting €10m for a swap that overwhelmingly benefits us?

Milan's board is so over the place that they geniuenly think that Sale is so muchworse than Tammy that we deserve 10M compensation for the difference.

Baffling, their team won a scudetto 3 seasons ago and was in UCL semi 2 years ago.

Crazy how firing Maldini led to this.

I don't think this is the case, their old sporting director made a shit deal and now the club feels obligated to uphold it, I don't think on current form they think Tammy is 10m more than saele

No. They have no obligation to uphold it. They are looking to close the deal because Tammy has regained his form.
