Aston Villa Set to Sign £18m Striker as Besiktas Reluctantly Allows Abraham to Leave After Failing to Sell Him for £11.2m.
Tammy Abraham's move from Roma to Aston Villa has been confirmed, with the Turkish club releasing a statement saying that they have fulfilled the terms of their loan agreement and will pay Roma a transfer fee of 13m euros for the striker. The move is seen as a significant blow for Besiktas, who had agreed an £18m deal with the English side but are now being forced to sell Abraham after failing to find a buyer.
Abraham's decision to join Villa marks a dramatic reversal in fortunes for the 28-year-old, who had been struggling to replicate his form at Roma since joining from Chelsea last year. Despite scoring 12 goals in 24 games for Besiktas, the club were unable to persuade Abraham to stay with them beyond the end of this season.
The striker's move to Villa has sparked excitement among fans and pundits alike, with many hailing it as a shrewd signing by the club. With Villa looking to challenge for European qualification, the addition of Abraham could prove to be a major boost to their chances.
Abraham himself will be hoping to rediscover his form at Villa after struggling to make an impact in Istanbul. He has 11 England caps to his name and is expected to provide a potent striking option for Grealish's side.

this transfer news is all over the place - first Aston Villa are gonna sign Tammy Abraham for £18m but then it turns out Besiktas aren't selling him for that price after all... like, what changed? 
did Roma negotiate a better deal with someone else? and now we know Besiktas only got 13m euros from the Turkish club, so basically they're losing money on the deal 
£18m is a bit steep for me, villa needs to be careful not to overspend 
. and 13m euros from besiktas is still a pretty decent deal considering they couldn't sell him for that in january 
.
. Villa fans are probably over the moon (again) about this signing... good luck with those European hopes 
. I think it's a big win for Aston Villa, they really needed a top-notch striker like him to push them towards European spots. Now that he's in, can't wait to see how he'll do at Villa Park! 
The fact that Besiktas couldn't find a buyer is pretty embarrassing for the Turkish club... 
, getting Tammy Abraham on board for £18m! I'm loving the move, gotta say, Villa was in desperate need of some serious firepower up front. And Besiktas? 
Well done to them for finally getting rid of him after that loan agreement ran out... 13m euros is a pretty penny too 
️
. I'm actually kinda hyped for this move though, Abraham's a beast on the pitch and could be just what Villa needs to shake things up.
