In a transfer merry-go-round, Chelsea have re-signed Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan for a club-record fee of £97.5 million, and the Serie A champions are expected to move for Roma’s Edin Dzeko as a replacement.
As reported by Goal, Abraham has spoken to Roma manager Jose Mourinho but has yet to agree personal terms.
After scoring 15 Premier League goals for the Blues in the 2020-21 season when Frank Lampard was in charge, Abraham saw his opportunities diminish under Tuchel last season.
Opportunities for the striker under Thomas Tuchel were few and far between last season, leading to speculation that he could be sold ahead of the 2021-22 season.
The Chelsea striker had a previous spell on loan with Villa and was the subject of an offer from them last summer but opted to fight for his place.
The Sun says Chelsea were believed to be seeking a £40million fee for the England international, but they are now prepared to slash their asking price to £30m.
The Blues are thought to be keen to sell the 23-year-old during this summer’s transfer window in order to raise funds to launch a big-money move for a new centre-forward.
The 23-year-old was a central figure in Frank Lampard’s team but quickly dropped down the pecking order following Thomas Tuchel’s arrival at the club midway through the 2020-21 season.
The 23-year-old scored 12 times in 32 appearances for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign but is down the pecking order in terms of the forward positions under the club’s head coach, Thomas Tuchel.
The 23-year-old has fallen down the pecking order since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in January, and the Blues are prepared to let him leave this summer.
The 23-year-old found the back of the net on 12 occasions in 32 appearances for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign but struggled to secure regular action under Thomas Tuchel.
Abraham has been overlooked by Blues boss Thomas Tuchel and his lack of game time has cost the striker.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a relatively strong season for the Blues in terms of goals, finding the back of the net on 12 occasions in 31 appearances in all competitions.
The 23-year-old has scored 12 times in 31 appearances for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign, but has fallen down the pecking order at the club in the last few weeks.
The 23-year-old has scored 12 times and registered six assists in 31 appearances for the Blues this season but has struggled for regular action in recent weeks.
The 23-year-old has scored 12 times in 30 appearances at club level during the 2020-21 campaign but has struggled to hold down a regular spot since Thomas Tuchel’s arrival as head coach.
Abraham had appeared to put the hosts in total control of the tie with two early goals, only for Jordan Clark’s strike on the half-hour mark, with the aid of another Kepa Arrizabalaga error, to give Luton hope of a shock at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea spent heavily in the close season to bring in the likes of midfielder Kai Havertz, forward Timo Werner, defender Ben Chilwell and winger Hakim Ziyech, but the London club sits ninth in the Premier League with 26 points from 17 games.
The 23-year-old had not started any of the Blues’ last four league games and failed to find the net in a whole month, but got back on the scoresheet with a close-range finish in the 78th-minute at Stamford Bridge.
