Roma considers Ihenacho as Abraham back-up
Roma are considering making an offer for leicester forward Kelechi Iheanacho to replace abraham if they fail to sign Chelsea striker.
meeting with Roma general manager Tiago Pinto for talks in London on Thursday, Abraham has asked for time to consider the offer from the Italian club managed by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.
Abraham is falling out of favor from the stamford bridge after the Serie A side agreed a £34m deal to sign the striker.
Meanwhile, should Roma consider Ihenacho, moves are likely to command a large fee as the player in April signed a new three-year deal.
Fellow Serie A side Atalanta and Arsenal are also interested in Abraham, but Chelsea’s preference is to sell him to a foreign club, making a move to their London rivals less likely.
according to skysports news, there is a determination from Roma to consider ihenacho, conclude a deal as talks are ongoing.
Abraham fell out of favor at Chelsea midway through last season as Thomas Tuchel replaced Frank Lampard as head coach and was left out of the squad for May’s Champions League final, despite being fully fit.
The arrival of Romelu Lukaku from Inter Milan is set to push Abraham further down the pecking order and all but end the possibility of him staying at Stamford Bridge.
Despite his limited game-time during the second half of last season, Abraham ended the campaign as Chelsea’s joint-top scorer with 12 goals.
