    However, defeat to Sevilla in a penalty shootout left the plans in tatters.
    And now Roma are set to spark a transfer scramble for Abraham by listing him on the transfer market, according to The Telegraph.
    The Italian outfit will accept a transfer for the “right price” in an attempt to “break-even” a rule that they had already broken and been fined for by Uefa.
    Roma signed Abraham, 25, for £34million from Chelsea in 2021, and the report claims that the club is optimistic about recouping a large portion of that fee.

    The English striker has experience on the national stage with England as well as in the Premier League and the Championship.
    In his two years in Italy, he has managed to notch 36 goals.
    However, this season has been less fruitful for the striker, as he has only netted nine times in all competitions.
    Abraham will not be short of suitors from the Premier League as he proved to be quality striker at the level.

    Clubs such as West Ham, Everton, Crystal Palace and Tottenham could all be on the hunt for a new striker this summer.
    And if Abraham is available for a reasonable fee for Premier League sides, it would seem an attractive option.
    Abraham has previously admitted that he is happy in Italy, as he said on Uefa.com: “I’ve become more confident and have learnt a lot about myself.
    “At Chelsea, I was known as ‘the academy player’, and I think coming here I’ve realised it’s time to bring out my personality and show the world what I can do.
    “It’s been an amazing experience learning about a different culture and seeing a different area of life.
    “It’s something I’ll treasure even more looking back when my career has finished.”
    If he is still happy to continue his career in Italy, then he could look for a club in Serie A, such as Inter Milan.
    The Italian giants are set to lose Romelu Lukaku once his loan spell expires while Edin Dzeko is approaching retirement and Abraham could be a smart move. More

    Roma lost the shootout 4-1 as Argentine World Cup hero Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive penalty after the game ended 1-1 after Gianluca Mancini’s own-goal cancelled out Paulo Dybala’s opener.
    The Italians came under fire for playing a cynical brand of football as well as players continuously surrounding British referee Anthony Taylor to try and force decisions.
    Taylor waved away protests for two Roma penalties – while he also ordered Montiel’s crucial spot-kick to be retaken after encroachment from Roma and former Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio.
    Mourinho was fuming with the decision and lashed out at the official after the game, branding him a “f***ing disgrace” while in the stadium car park.

    However, Neville claimed that Mourinho and Roma only have themselves to blame as he tweeted: “Roma were a disgrace” on Thursday morning.
    The tweet, however, has since been deleted, and Neville has not provided any further comment on the fixture.
    Taylor dished out 13 yellow cards to players and also handed one to Mourinho, who also made his feelings clear in his post-match interview.
    He told Sky Sports Italia: “Each of us react in a different way, one cries, another doesn’t, but the truth is we are all very sad.

    “We return dead tired, dead with feeling it is unjust.
    “It was an intense, masculine, vibrant game with a referee who seemed Spanish. It was yellow, yellow, yellow all the time.
    “The injustice is shown by the fact Lamela should’ve had a second yellow, he didn’t, and he converted a penalty in the shoot-out.
    “What I said is we either leave here with the Cup or we leave dead. Well, we’re dead.
    “We’re dead tired physically, dead tired mentally, dead because we think it is an unjust defeat with lots of incidents that are debatable.”
    Ahead of the game, Sevilla paid tribute to former goalkeeper Sergio Rico, the stopper has been hospitalised after a horse-riding accident. More

    OLIVIER GIROUD may have left Arsenal in 2018 but his latest goal for AC Milan helped out his former club.Giroud was on target as AC Milan beat Juventus 1-0 – a result that secured his side Champions League football next season and means Juve cannot qualify.

    As a result, Arsenal’s chances of having a successful return to the competition have been boosted as they will now be in Pot Two for the draw.
    Uefa use their coefficient system to determine the seedings for European competition with the Gunners sitting 23rd.
    It looked like the Gunners were going to be in Pot Three and potentially be drawn in a group of death.
    But, with Juventus failing to qualify for next season’s Champions League Mikel Arteta’s side’s place in Pot Two was confirmed.

    The Italian giants were eighth in the coefficient rankings but fortunately for Arsenal they missed out – with a 10 point deduction in Serie A playing a huge part.
    By being in Pot Two it now means that Arsenal can only face one of Europe’s big hitters in the group stage.
    As of now, Barcelona, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica and Feyenoord could all be visiting the Emirates, as well as the winners of the Europa League out of Roma and Sevilla.
    Giroud could make a return to north London as AC Milan sit in Pot Three thanks to their win over Juventus.
