Overview
- Villa are prepared to offer Abraham a four-and-a-half-year contract, and he has indicated a preference for returning to the club over other Premier League suitors.
- Abraham is on loan at Besiktas from Roma, and Besiktas have activated an obligation to buy that complicates a January switch.
- To facilitate a deal, Villa could loan a player to Besiktas as compensation, with Evann Guessand named in reports as a potential option.
- Villa have agreed to let Donyell Malen join Roma on an initial loan with a clause for a permanent move, creating room in the forward line.
- Abraham has scored 12 goals in 24 appearances for Besiktas this season as Unai Emery seeks a more physical alternative to complement Ollie Watkins during a multi-competition push.
