Abraham, who has four years left on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico, joined Roma from Chelsea for €38 million last summer. The 24-year-old established himself as a first-team starter, helping the club win the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
An all-round striker with physical prowess, the England international scored a staggering 27 goals and contributed five assists in 53 games last season. That catapulted him back into England manager Gareth Southgate’s plans.
In his column for Caught Offside, Romano said that the Blues have a buy-back clause for their academy graduate. However, he added that the player is, currently, very content at the Serie A club. Romano wrote:
He added:
Abraham has endured a lackluster start to the ongoing campaign, netting just twice in eight games across competitions.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have struggled in attack this season. While Timo Werner was shipped off to his former club RB Leipzig this summer, club-record signing Romelu Lukaku was loaned out to Inter Milan after a disappointing 2021-22 campaign.
The Blues are currently relying on an ageing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, an out-of-form Kai Havertz and an inexperienced Armando Broja. Chelsea are seventh in the Premier League standings with 10 points from six games. They next face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday (October 1).
