As the transfer season in European football enters an intense phase, Tammy Abraham’s decision to reject a move to Saint Petersburg’s Zenit has caused a stir in the football world. According to Nicolo Schira, the English striker declined the opportunity to go to Russia.
Reports say that Zenit offered Roma €20 million for Abraham. The player himself was offered a three-year contract worth €5 million per year. Despite the lucrative offer, which is considered substantial for any footballer, Abraham chose a different path.
In his opinion, continuing his career in one of the top 5 European leagues is more effective and prestigious. The 27-year-old striker spent last season on loan at Milan, where he played 28 Serie A matches and scored 3 goals.
Currently, Roma is undergoing a serious overhaul of its attacking line. Along with Abraham, the futures of team captain Eldor Shomurodov and Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbyk remain uncertain. According to Italian insiders, the club is considering parting ways with all three players.
Abraham's refusal to move to Russia is notable for several reasons. First, he aims to maintain his brand and development at a high level. Second, he is aware that Russian football is currently unable to fully compete on the international stage.
Now Roma faces a big question: who will become the team’s main striker? Eldor Shomurodov’s future is also being actively discussed. In addition to his potential departure, other transfers may follow.
Thus, Abraham’s rejection of the Zenit move is not just a personal choice but also reflects broader trends in European football. Roma is likely to make significant changes to its attacking department in the coming weeks. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
