Tammy Abraham Leaves AC Milan As Transfer Rumors Swirl

AC Milan confirms Abraham’s departure after a productive loan spell as West Ham eyes the English striker for a summer signing

AC Milan officially confirmed on June 29, 2025, that Tammy Abraham will no longer be part of their squad as his loan spell from AS Roma has come to an end without a permanent deal. The English striker, who joined Milan in the summer of 2024 as a deputy for Alvaro Morata, concluded his season with the Rossoneri having made 45 appearances, netting 10 goals and providing 7 assists. The club expressed their gratitude on social media, posting a photo of Abraham with the caption, "Double digits for goals and full effort every minute! Thanks, Tammy!" marking the end of his Milan adventure.

Abraham's tenure at Milan was marked by solid contributions despite often being the second or even third choice striker in the lineup. Notably, he scored a brace against his parent club Roma in the Coppa Italia, a performance that helped knock Roma out of the competition. However, as the season drew to a close, AC Milan's management decided to pursue a different profile up front, leading to the decision not to make Abraham's loan permanent.

Following his departure, Abraham has returned to Roma, where the club now faces the task of finding a new destination for the 27-year-old forward. His exit coincides with the departure of fellow forward Luka Jović, who also parted ways with Milan on the same day. Jović, a 27-year-old Serbian striker who joined Milan in 2023, made 47 appearances and scored 13 goals during his time with the club. AC Milan took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank Jović, tweeting, "Thank you, Luka! 🇷🇸 We wish you all the best for the next stage of your career 😊 #SempreMilan." This double forward departure signals a clear shift in Milan's attacking strategy heading into the new season.

Amid these changes, Tammy Abraham has also sent an emotional farewell message to AC Milan fans via his Instagram stories on June 29, 2025, writing, "Thank you, AC Milan. Good luck for the future!" His contract with Milan officially ended alongside the announcement of his departure. This message came amid growing speculation about his next career move, with strong links suggesting a possible return to English football.

One of the most talked-about potential destinations for Abraham is West Ham United, where manager Graham Potter is reportedly seeking to revamp the club's attack ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Potter, who has faced a challenging start at West Ham with only five wins in his first 19 matches and a 14th-place finish last season, is under pressure to improve the squad. The Hammers' attacking lineup, including Niclas Fullkrug, Mohammed Kudus, and Jarrod Bowen, has struggled, and the club has yet to make any significant moves in the summer transfer window as of late June 2025.

Football Insider reported in May 2025 that West Ham has shown interest in signing Abraham, viewing his experience in both the Champions League and Europa League as a valuable asset. At 27 years old, and having last played in the Premier League four years ago, Abraham's return to English football could provide the attacking boost West Ham desperately needs. The club is also expected to sell Mohammed Kudus to fund a potential rebuild, with Chelsea and Newcastle United reportedly interested in the Ghanaian midfielder.

The Friedkin Group's takeover of Everton has also fueled rumors linking Abraham with a move back to Merseyside, though West Ham appears to be the front-runner for his signature. Abraham's versatility and proven goal-scoring record in Serie A make him an attractive option for Premier League sides looking to strengthen their forward lines.

AC Milan's decision to part ways with both Abraham and Jović highlights a period of transition for the club as they seek to refine their squad ahead of the upcoming season. Abraham’s time in Milan may not have resulted in a permanent transfer, but his contributions—10 goals and 7 assists in 45 appearances—demonstrated his ability to perform at a high level in one of Europe's top leagues.

As Abraham prepares to embark on the next chapter of his career, all eyes will be on West Ham and other interested clubs to see if they can secure the services of the English striker. Meanwhile, AC Milan continues to reshape its squad, aiming to build a team capable of challenging for top honors in Serie A and Europe.

The summer transfer window promises to be an intriguing period for Abraham and Milan alike, with new signings and departures set to define the future direction of both clubs. For now, Abraham’s journey with AC Milan has come to a respectful close, leaving behind memories of dedication, key goals, and a professional attitude that earned him praise from fans and teammates.
