GdS: Abraham stings the fans who jeered him – why a return to Roma is difficult | OneFootball

What happened last night for Tammy Abraham provided further proof that his future lays far away from his parent club Roma, a report claims.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, a brace from Abraham eliminated the Giallorossi from the Coppa Italia in one of those rare circumstances when a player can actually do damage to the club that they are on loan from.

His break with the Roma fanbase was clear to see. At the moment of the substitution, the Englishman was booed by the away supporters. Surprised, Tammy made the symbol of the cup, referring to the fact that he was decisive three years ago in winning the Conference League with Mourinho.

“Everyone knows what I think of Roma, tonight with the Giallorossi fans it was hurtful, I celebrated by thanking God and I didn’t celebrate out of respect. These are things that unfortunately happen in football,” he said.

In reality things already changed in a negative sense last year when the Stadio Olimpico booed Abraham following the big misses against Bayer Leverkusen in the semi-final of the Europa League.

It was a sad way for it to end for Tammy, who immediately found himself at ease in Rome and in his first year he scored 27 goals across all competitions. In his second season that level dropped, but his relationship with the city and the fans did not.

The club decided to put him on the market anyway to recoup the huge expense of the previous season (€40m plus bonuses) until the terrible cruciate ligament injury against Spezia in the last match of the season that blocked his sale to Aston Villa.

Abraham remained in the treatment for eight months and upon his return he found a team in full crisis and his starting place now taken by Romelu Lukaku. The fans didn’t give him any excuse and after a few too many errors the first jeers came.

In the summer he got a loan switch to Milan with Alexis Saelemaekers going the other way, but he still has a contract that will expire in 2027 with Roma. A return seems difficult, and he must earn a stay with the Rossoneri after Santiago Gimenez’s arrival.
