Abraham to return to Roma with Turkey on the horizon
Tammy Abraham is set for a return to Roma as Milan are unlikely to keep him.
With the season winding to a close, the future of the English striker is yet to be sorted.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, once his loan at Milan is up, Abraham will return to Trigoria and wait to find out what the future holds for him.
Besiktas have already shown concrete interest, ready to make an offer between 15 and 20 million euros.
The final choice will be up to the club from the capital.
Abraham is currently tied to Roma by a contract expiring on June 30, 2026.
The next transfer window will therefore be decisive to understand if his path will continue away from the capital.

French Open recap: Mirra Andreeva, Daria Kasatkina and tennis friendships
Follow The Athletic's French Open coverage Welcome to the French Open briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament. On day nine, two good friends showed off the two sides of knowing each other's games, a day of freshness arrived for two quarterfinalists and a window of opportunity opened for Jannik Sinner's next opponent. Unless you are Zheng Qinwen, who has strategically decided that she cannot be friends with anyone on the WTA Tour because it would make competing with them too difficult, playing a big match against a buddy eventually happens. On Monday it was Mirra Andreeva and Daria Kasatkina's turn. For the 18-year-old Andreeva, Kasatkina, with a decade more of wear on her tires, has become a significant role model. They are both Russian by birth and irreverent souls by spirit. Andreeva often appears on Kasatkina's vlog documenting her escapades on the tour. Advertisement Last fall Kasatkina, consoled Andreeva after beating her in the Ningbo final. No more consoling is necessary. Andreeva, now the world No. 6, is 11 spots ahead of Kasatkina. When she beat her in the round of 16 Monday, Kasatkina threw her wristband at the teenager as they approached the net after Andreeva's straight-sets win. Andreeva loved it. Playing against a friend is way easier than it once was. 'I don't know what changed, but today was not that hard to, you know, kind of change my mindset and step on court and kind of be opponents,' she said. 'I managed to kind of tell myself that I'm playing against the ball, not against the opponent. I just tried to focus on the ball that I have to hit.' For, Kasatkina, a regular practice partner for Andreeva, an adjustment might be in order, especially in terms of showing Andreeva the ropes. 'If I'm responsible for her matureness, then I have to now shut up,' she said. Matt Futterman Given the problems Dutch player Tallon Griekspoor has given world No. 3 Alexander Zverev previously, Novak Djokovic would have been forgiven for hoping for more of the same on Monday. When Zverev and Griekspoor met at Roland Garros last year, the match went all the way to a fith-set tiebreak. The duo also went the distance at Indian Wells, Calif. earlier this year, this time in three sets. Going into Monday's round of 16 at the French Open, Djokovic knew that if he could get past Cameron Norrie, he'd be playing the winner of the latest instalment of Griekspoor vs. Zverev. Another battle royale would suit him just fine. Another seesaw battle looked possible early on, when Griekspoor broke early for 3-0. But the Dutchman had suffered an abdominal injury in practice earlier that day, and after 13 games, he had to retire when trailing 6-4, 3-0. A nice bonus for Zverev, who will want all the rest he can get before the big tests ahead. Zverev said after beating Griekspoor that he would definitely be watching Djokovic's match against Norrie, and he too would have been hoping for a tiring, drawn-out affair. Given Norrie's ability to run all day and turn matches into wars of attrition, he might have held out some hope. He ended up disappointed, as Djokovic eased to a 6-2, 6-3, 6-2 win in two hours and 14 minutes. Advertisement Djokovic and Zverev should both be well rested then for Wednesday's meeting, which should make for a competitive, very physical match. When they met at the Australian Open in January, the first set alone lasted 81 minutes, before Djokovic retired with the hamstring injury he'd picked up in the previous round against Carlos Alcaraz. Zverev knows that he'll be facing a far less physically compromised Djokovic this time around. Charlie Eccleshare Men's world No. 1 Jannik Sinner has lost just 11 games in his past two matches, and he was almost as dominant in his 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 win over Andrey Rublev Monday as he had been in the previous round against Jiří Lehečka. Rublev, the No. 17 seed, and Lehečka, the world No. 34, are by no means weak opposition, but they are both pretty one-dimensional. Rublev and Lehečka play in much the same style as Sinner, and he just does just about everything better than they do. Both tried to outhit the Italian; both were left shaking their heads at the futility of their approach. There isn't exactly a winning strategy for beating Sinner right now, apart from being Carlos Alcaraz, but the Italian's next opponent, Alexander Bublik, has some of the tools that make Alcaraz such a difficult opponent. What discomfits Sinner is changes in rhythm: being asked to hit balls that are coming with different heights, speeds, and spins is one of the only tennis questions that he is yet to fully answer, especially on clay. Bublik, a mercurial talent from Kazakhstan, is capable of asking that question. He has a massive serve and power off the ground, but he's also one of the trickiest, most unpredictable players on the tour. He fried No. 5 seed Jack Draper's brain in a four-set win Monday and will ask Sinner different questions than the minimal ones Rublev and Lehecka have posed over the last few days. Advertisement It's hard to make a case for Bublik ultimately winning the match, but it has better evidence than just about everybody else in the ATP top 30 can muster. Charlie Eccleshare There are plenty of layers to the upcoming quarterfinal matchup between Coco Gauff and Madison Keys. It's a matchup of styles, a matchup between the two most recent Grand Slam champions from the U.S.. It's also a matchup between two women who have lived the hype of being the next big thing. Keys has had the benefit of watching Gauff live that in real time. She's known Gauff since she was a pre-teen and has watched her evolve from a hot prospect into a seasoned pro, the same thing that she had to do roughly a decade before. 'I'm always really impressed with the fact that she handles it so well, because she's had even more success and more media attention than I had, and I know that it was definitely really hard for me,' Keys said Monday after beating another hot young American prospect, Hailey Baptiste, in straight sets. 'I feel like you watch her, and she just takes it all in stride and continues to just be 100 percent her, and I'm always just really impressed by it.'

Inter make initial contact for Como manager Cesc Fabregas
Serie A giants Inter are yet to be sure about Simone Inzaghi's future and have made contact for Cesc Fabregas. Corriere dello Sport have reported about the Nerazzurri's decision, which will hinge on their key meeting with Inzaghi tomorrow. There are no outright indications about the Italian's departure but they do not want to be caught unprepared. Advertisement Fabregas has rejected all offers that have arrived in his direction in an attempt to stay at Como. But he has been clear that he would only accept a call from Inter. It has now arrived and the Spaniard will become the likely candidate, if Inzaghi does depart for Saudi Arabia or takes a one-year sabbatical. Contact was made yesterday and Inter believe that Fabregas will be the best candidate because of versatility and ability to use a back three, which he has used multiple times in the season.

What Next For Inter Milan After Champions League Final Collapse?
MUNICH, GERMANY - 2025/05/31: Lautaro Martinez of FC Internazionale is seen reacting at the end of ... More the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Finals between Paris Saint-Germain FC and FC Internazionale at Munich Football Arena. Final score: PSG 5 - 0 Inter. (Photo by Fabrizio Carabelli/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) In the lead up to the Champions League final, Fabio Capello urged Inter Milan to channel the spirit of his AC Milan side that thrashed Barcelona 31 years ago. Back in 1994, the Rossoneri had gone into the final as clear underdogs but annihilated Johan Cruyff's Dream Team 4-0 to lift European club soccer's biggest prize for the fifth time. Writing in Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport last week, the 78-year-old recalled seeing a picture of Cruyff resting with his head on a football as Barcelona trained and told his players to 'kick that football away so his and Barca's head would hit the turf.' Capello urged Inter players do the same as they faced Paris Saint-Germain in their second Champions League finals in three seasons. But it was the Nerazzurri who came down to earth with a resounding thud in Munich on Saturday night, thrashed 5-0 by the French champions. This was a trouncing of historical proportions, the biggest margin of defeat in the history of the Champions League final, both in its current version and its previous guise as European Cup. Such was PSG's superiority that it made Milan's 4-0 hammering of Barcelona three decades ago seem competitive. Two years ago, Inter lost 1-0 to Manchester City at the same stage in Istanbul, but left Turkey with the feeling of being a team on an upward trajectory. Pep Guardiola told Nerazzurri boss Simone Inzaghi that his team would be back in a Champions League final 'very soon'. His forecast proved prescient, as Inter returned to the final this season, a year after winning a 20th league title in style, the sixth major trophy under Inzaghi. Since replacing Antonio Conte in charge in the summer of 2021, the 49-year-old has emerged as one of the outstanding managers in Europe. Over the past four seasons Inter has never finished lower than third in Serie A and has qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League for four consecutive campaigns. To put that into context, in three years under Conte, the Nerazzurri won the league title in 2021, but never made it past the group stages in the Champions League. Before that, they missed out on the competition altogether between 2012 and 2018 when they never finished higher than fourth in Serie A. Over the past two seasons in particular, Inzaghi's team has been a joy to watch. Consistently attacking with purpose while remaining exceptionally difficult to break down, adaptable, and flowing in their play. Under the former Lazio forward, Inter has also managed the increasingly rare feat of achieving success while balancing the books. Since Inzaghi took over in 2021, Inter has spent just under $310m on players, while selling players for more than $420m. Its wage bill this season came in at $350m, PSG's stood at more than $810m. There was nothing casual about reaching two Champions League finals in three years, Inter deserved its place in both fixtures. But the shellacking against PSG on Saturday marks the end of a cycle for the current Inter team, who at 29.1 years has the oldest squad in Serie A by average age. With 11 players in their squad over 30, it also has the oldest squad in the Champions League. On Saturday, Inter's band of grizzly veterans looked weary, their legs heavy as PSG's front three of Désiré Doué, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele tore the Italians' defense to shreds. At 28 years of age, Dembele is the senior member of the trio and still nine years younger than Inter defender Francesco Acerbi, who is 13 years older than Kvaratskhelia and 18 years Doué's senior. It was no surprise Inter was tired in Munich either. This is a team that played 59 games this season, fighting on three fronts for eight months.

(Photo by PIERO CRUCIATTI / AFP) (Photo by PIERO CRUCIATTI/AFP via Getty Images) Until April, a repeat of the historic Treble - the Serie A title, the Italian Cup and the Champions League - won under Jose Mourinho 15 years ago was still on the cards. But then it all came apart, with Inter knocked out of the Italian Cup by arch-rivals Milan, itself at its lowest ebb in almost a decade, before Napoli won the Serie A title by a point. The fact Napoli is managed by Conte, who left Inter just three weeks after winning the title in 2021, only heightened the disappointment. Then came the debacle in Munich, a reminder that for all of Inter's brilliance under Inzaghi, defeats at crucial stages have not exactly been a rarity. The Nerazzurri lost two Champions League finals in three seasons without scoring and suffered defeat in the Europa League final in 2022. They also lost the Italian Super Cup in January, squandering a 2-0 lead against Milan. Over the past four years, the Serie A title has twice gone down to the final game of the season, with Inter coming up short on both occasions. It is why defeat against PSG has brought Inzaghi's future under scrutiny, perhaps more than at any other time during his five-year reign at the San Siro. Inzaghi postponed making any decisions on his future until after the Champions League final, but indicated he was open to continuing at Inter if 'the conditions were right'. Whether those conditions will be met is harder to decipher after Saturday night's thrashing. Munich, Germany - May 31: head coach Simone Inzaghi of FC Internazionale looks dejected during the ... More UEFA Champions League Final 2025 between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Internazionale Milano at Munich Football Arena on May 31, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Harry Langer/DeFodi Images/DeFodi via Getty Images) More to the point, Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal has offered Inzaghi a three-year deal worth $28.6m net per season, a four-fold increase on his current $7.4m contract, which runs out at the end of next season. The Inter manager cut a forlorn figure on Saturday night and even questioned whether he would be leading his team to the upcoming Club World Cup in the US this month. 'Am I going to the United States? I don't know the answer to that right now,' he said in the post-match press conference. Inter, for its part, has made no mystery it wants to keep its manager. 'Our assessment of Inzaghi hasn't changed,' said club's president and CEO Giuseppe Marotta. "One bad night doesn't erase everything else." What is certain is that it will take Inter, with or without Inzaghi, a long time to erase the memories of their collapse in Munich.
