Tammy Abraham to Join Besiktas on Four-Year Deal

English striker Tammy Abraham is set to officially join Besiktas. He signed a four-year contract, ending his time in Serie A and beginning a new chapter in Turkey.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Besiktas secured Tammy Abraham‘s services, agreeing to a deal that keeps the 27-year-old forward with the club until 2029. Abraham joins from AS Roma after spending the 2024-25 season on loan at AC Milan, where he had 10 goals and 7 assists in 44 appearances. The Turkish club reportedly paid around €20 million for the transfer, and Abraham is expected to earn approximately €6 million a year. He will work under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who took charge of Besiktas midway through the season and oversaw a late improvement in their league form.

A previous report confirmed Besiktas’s agreement to a four-year deal with Tammy Abraham that extends until 2029.

BEFINALS’ SEASON AND ABRAHAM’S IMPACT

Beşiktaş finished fourth in the Süsüper Lig this season after a tough start. Improvement came under Solskjaer, but they ended up 14 points from the Champions League places. The club hopes that Abraham, who was second in Serie A for goals created per 90 minutes, can provide more scoring opportunities. Abraham joins a squad that also includes fellow Englishman Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. His goals and assists at Milan show his ability to contribute at critical moments; he scored the pivotal goal in the Supercoppa Italiana final.

According to a recent update, Beşiktaş finished fourth in the Super Lig this season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BEFINALS AND ABRAHAM?

With Abraham on board, Beşiktaş aims to make a strong run for a top-3 finish and a return to European competition in the 2025-26 campaign. Their next match is a season opener against Konyaspor, who finished ninth last season. Beşiktaş is eager to close the gap on traditional rivals Galatasaray and Fenerbahce, who finished last season first and second, respectively. All eyes will be on Abraham to score goals and elevate the club’s domestic and European ambitions.

According to recent reports, Galatasaray finished second in the Super Lig last season, while Fenerbahce secured the first position.
