Real Madrid have joined the race to sign Roma forward Tammy Abraham, providing competition to the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea.

Abraham has generally done well since moving to Roma, becoming a key focal point of the attack under Jose Mourinho since signing in 2021.

Abraham moved to Italy from Chelsea after struggling to break into the first team, but has renewed his reputation since moving to Serie A with Roma.

Real Madrid eyeing Abraham move

The 25-year-old has had a slightly more difficult second campaign, netting just five goals and providing three assists, but there is still confidence in his abilities and potential.

He still remains on the radar of top clubs around Europe and Real Madrid see him as an option for the future, with the club keen to enter the market for a forward.

Real Madrid currently have Karim Benzema on the books but his contract is set to run out and while there is a desire for him to extend his deal, nothing is concrete at the minute.

Regardless, they will need someone to act as a back up for him, with the likes of Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard set to leave the club soon and Abraham could fit that mold.

Other than Abraham, another forward Real Madrid are looking at is Marcus Thuram, who is out of contract at Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of the season and is free to discuss a transfer right now.

For Abraham, there is interest from Premier League clubs such as Manchester United and Chelsea and he could cost upwards of €60 million if any club wants to sign the Englishman in the near future.
