Aston Villa are intensifying their pursuit of Roma striker Tammy Abraham as they look to strengthen their squad following the recent sale of Donyell Malen. The 28-year-old has been a key player in Istanbul, netting 13 goals in 26 appearances for Besiktas.
Villa officials and Abraham's representatives watched him play on Monday night, which will likely prove to be a crucial moment in the transfer talks. The Turkish club, however, is under pressure to find a suitable replacement before letting Abraham leave. Besiktas has struggled to replicate his form, with Abraham proving a significant loss.
Abraham, who scored 26 goals in just 40 appearances for Villa during their Championship-winning campaign in 2018-19, has been a prolific goal-scorer throughout his career. He joined Roma from Chelsea two years ago and has since become a regular starter for the Italian side.
Other clubs are also keen on signing Abraham, but Villa's primary interest lies in reuniting with him after their successful loan spell last season. The Villans are keen to bring back the striker who proved instrumental in their promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs.
However, any deal for Abraham is complicated by his current loan agreement at Besiktas. The club needs to find a suitable replacement before allowing Abraham to leave. Villa's high wage bill has made them more cautious in their transfer spending, following a £9.5m fine from UEFA last year.
The Villans' financial woes are also likely to affect their ability to meet the asking price for Abraham, who is reportedly worth around £35m at Roma. The club missed out on signing Conor Gallagher due to concerns over loan deals, and it remains to be seen whether they can overcome similar hurdles in the case of Abraham.
As Villa look to strengthen their squad, Abraham's return would be a significant boost. However, the transfer saga is far from over, and the club will need to navigate the complexities of his current contract before making any moves.

I'm low-key rooting for Tammy Abraham to join Aston Villa! 
He's had some great games with Besiktas, but Roma is just too big a leap from Villa. The Villans' wage bill is crazy, btw, £35m for one player? That's like buying an entire squad of journeymen 
. I do think Abraham would be a great fit, though - he's got the goal-scoring record to prove it! 
And let's be real, Villa could use a striker who's actually on fire 
. The only thing holding them back is their wallet...or lack thereof 
. Can't wait to see how this transfer saga plays out! 
. They were on a roll, and he was scoring goals like crazy. I think they might have even won the title that season? Anyway, now he's playing for Roma and Besiktas, but I still think he'd be perfect for Villa. The problem is, Besiktas needs to find someone else before letting him go, and Villa doesn't want to break the bank with all their financial issues 
. Can't wait to see what happens, though... I'll be keeping an eye on it 
.
. And let's be real, Conor Gallagher was a similar talent and Villa still managed to mess it up 
. I reckon Abraham would be a great addition to the squad, but Villa needs to sort out its financials first 
. Maybe they can find a creative way to get around the loan agreement thingy, but it's not looking good 
.
. The fact that Roma is willing to offload him at £35m is crazy, considering he's still only 28 
. I think Abraham's return would be a huge boost for Villa, but we'll see how it all plays out... fingers crossed! 
I've been following Aston Villa's transfer situation all season, and Tammy Abraham would be an amazing signing for them! 
They just gotta convince Besiktas to let him go first lol what a nightmare for the Turkish club, he's a superstar!!! 
. Maybe Abraham just stays at Roma for the rest of the season? Either way, I'm sure Tammy will do what's best for him and his career. The transfer drama's always more interesting than the actual football 
. Let's see how this one plays out 
£35m is a lot of cash and with that fine from UEFA last year, it's hard to see them breaking the bank 
Anyway, I think it would be awesome if he came back to Villa. He was amazing in the Championship last time around and helped them get promoted to the Premier League. Now, I'm worried that Besiktas won't let him go because they can't find a good replacement... that's like being stuck with a bad player who's holding you back! 
They really need him to fill that goal-scoring void after Donyell Malen left.
. The ask price for Abraham is steep at £35m, too... that's just crazy money
