whose contract expires at the end of the season &#8211; to longer term deals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The goal is thought to be a place in the Champions League draw for next season, having climbed successfully through the ranks of UEFA&#8217;s other major competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At present, Roma sit 13th in the Serie A table after a rocky start to the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abraham would likely find himself out of favour, and Roma are said to be keen to use the former Chelsea player as a bargainning chip in getting any permanent move for Lukaku over the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the player should be able to scrap for his place in Mourinho&#8217;s starting line-up from late November or early December, based on a tentative recovery timetable for his injured ACL.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Success could either force Roma to scrap the idea, or heighten Chelsea&#8217;s desire for their former player.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ex-director Marina Granovskaia inserted a \u00a369.4m buy-back clause in Abraham&#8217;s contract upon his departure from Chelsea, which could in turn help any potential deal cross the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite spending close to \u00a31bn on players during their last three transfer windows, Chelsea are thought to be preparing to enter the market and make a serious move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney in January.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/12\/75845545-12561799-image-a-82_1695728750163.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old&#8217;s season was scuppered by an ACL tear on the final matchday of last season<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/12\/75846683-12561799-image-a-83_1695729225253.jpg\" height=\"456\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Abraham joined the Blues at under-eight level and featured 58 times for the senior team<\/p>\n<p>The Bees player has been sidelined due to breaching the FA&#8217;s betting regulations, but will be cleared to return to action in January 14.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked in April about whether he could imagine a return to his boyhood club, Abraham claimed he couldn&#8217;t rule it out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Never say never in football,&#8217;
