Abraham is still massively popular with the club’s fanbase, having broken into the team under Frank Lampard in the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n
The Cobham graduate scored 30 goals in 82 appearances for the club before he was frozen out under Thomas Tuchel and was sold in the summer of 2021 to the Italian outfit for \u00a334m. Chelsea inserted a \u00a368m buy-back clause as part of the deal, which expired this summer, but he still could find himself back at his boyhood club.<\/p>\n
The England international was offloaded to help fund Chelsea’s \u00a397.5m club-record signing of Lukaku from Inter Milan in August 2021. Ironically, only two and a half years later, the pair could be swapping clubs again after the Belgian flopped in his second spell in west London.<\/p>\n

But getting Lukaku off the club’s books and signing a goalscorer Chelsea fans have faith in would solve two problems for the Argentinian boss in an instant.<\/p>\n Lukaku has hit the ground running since joining Roma on an initial loan deal, scoring twice for Jose Mourinho’s side so far.<\/p>\n Abraham, meanwhile, is still sidelined after rupturing his ACL in pre-season, but his return of just nine goals in 54 appearances last season means he would be down the pecking order at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/p>\n When quizzed on his future in March this year, Abraham refused to rule out going back to Chelsea. He said: \u201cWould I go back there? In football you can never say never,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now, my focus is here at Roma – we want to finish the season strongly.”<\/p>\n
