Besiktas have paid £11.2m to Roma for Tammy Abraham, as the Turkish club prepares to sell him to Aston Villa.
The striker had a medical on Saturday, having travelled to the UK on Friday after Villa agreed an £18m deal with the Super Lig side.
Besiktas had an obligation to buy in the loan deal that brought Abraham to Roma last summer and did not want to sell him, but is reluctantly allowing him to return to England.
Abraham, who has 11 England caps, scored 12 goals in 24 games for Besiktas.
“The conditions in the transfer contract of Kevin Oghenetega Tamaraebi Bakumo-Abraham have been fulfilled, and the provision for the permanent transfer of the player has come into effect,” said Besiktas.
“In this context, a transfer fee of 13m euros will be paid to AS Roma.”
The 28-year-old joined Roma from Chelsea for £34m in 2021 and scored 39 goals in 120 games for the Serie A club, winning the Europa Conference League in 2022.
He also spent the 2024-25 season on loan at AC Milan, scoring 10 goals in 44 appearances.
