The Rome made official this Tuesday the definitive signing of the English striker Tammy Abraham after paying 40 million euros to Chelsea, which, together with a series of variables, may represent the most expensive purchase in Roman history.

The agreement also provides for a series of variables that depend on certain sporting objectives and a percentage in favor of the Rome about an eventual future sale, adds the team.
Abraham, 23 years old and who went on to score fifteen goals in the Premier League English two years ago, before losing prominence in the last campaign, signed a contract until June 30, 2026.
Portuguese Tiago pinto, sports director of the Rome, bet on Abraham to replace Bosnian Edin dzeko, sold last week to Inter de Milan.
