ROMA are reportedly willing to listen to offers for ex-Chelsea star Tammy Abraham to fund their transfer assault for Sassuolo’s Davide Frattesi.
Abraham, 25, joined the Italian giants last summer for £35million.
He went on to score 27 goals and provide six assists across all competitions for Jose Mourinho’s side and helped Roma win the inaugural Uefa Europa Conference League.
However, his fortunes haven’t been as great this term, scoring just four times in 20 appearances in all competitions
This led to boss Mourinho publicly hitting out at the striker, calling on him to address his woes in front of goal.
And now according to Calciomercato, Roma are open to selling Abraham in the January transfer window should any interesting offers arrive.

Roma director Tiago Pinto wants to strengthen Mourinho’s squad in the New Year and has set his sights on Sassuolo midfielder Frattesi.
Sassuolo will not consider any loan offers and it would take a fair whack of cash to part with the 23-year-old, which is where Abraham could come into play.
Abraham’s form isn’t only a concern for Roma.
The ex-Chelsea striker missed out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s 26-man England squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

Boss Southgate, whose Three Lions are among the favourites to win in Qatar, publicly cited Abraham’s form as to why he wasn’t picked.
Newcastle’s Callum Wilson was selected ahead of Abraham and Brentford’s Ivan Toney, with the latter being a surprise omission.
Southgate said on Abraham: “Tammy has had a poor run of scoring form at the wrong time.
“It’s not a case where we’re three to four weeks away from the finals, we’re 10 days.

“So form could be more important. We don’t really know where they are until we see them face to face, on the training pitch, medical issues we’re not completely aware of.
“We know the form we see in the matches, but you don’t get the full picture.”
