Chelsea can save £22m as Todd Boehly gifted perfect solution to Serie A striker transfer puzzle

Chelsea appear to have been handed a huge boost towards welcoming Tammy Abraham back to Stamford Bridge, if Todd Boehly wishes to activate the striker's buyback clause. The 25-year-old enjoyed an electric start to life at Roma but he's since struggled to reach the same heights of late.

Abraham, who sees his contract at the Stadio Olimpico expire in 2026, has featured 27 times for Jose Mourinho's side in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards just ten goals. The Italian giants have confirmed that Chelsea inserted a clause into the England international's contract which allows them to re-sign him this summer if they wish.

However, Tiago Pinto, Roma's general manager, did not specify the fee, though it's said to be in the region of €80million (£70.5m). Abraham has been heavily linked with a return to Chelsea since leaving in 2021 but his eye-watering buyback clause has always proven difficult to justify.
