The 27-year-old currently has a year left of his contract with the Italian club.
Italian media reports said the talks were about a loan.
"Hello Black Eagles, I'm coming for you, see you at the airport," Abraham said in a video on board the club's private plane that was posted on its Instagram account.
He was expected to arrive in Turkey's largest city later on Tuesday.
Abraham signed for Serie A club AS Roma in August 2021 on a five-year contract after a move from Premier League club Chelsea for a fee of 41 million euros (£35 million, $48 million) and was an integral member of the side that won the 2022 Europa Conference League trophy.
The former England international recently concluded a stint on loan with Roma's rivals AC Milan for the 2024-25 season, scoring 10 goals in all competitions.

Inter Milan & Napoli ‘Unlikely' To Trigger €52M Release Clause For Fiorentina Star
Inter Milan and Napoli are unlikely to trigger the €52 million release clause of Fiorentina striker Moise Kean this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement The future of Fiorentina striker Moise Kean has been a subject of speculation this summer. The Italian international scored 25 goals and made three assists in all competitions for La Viola. He really made good on the promise that he had long shown playing for Juventus, Everton, and PSG. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that there would be transfer interest in Kean this summer. Inter & Napoli Unlikely To Trigger Moise Kean Release Clause FLORENCE, ITALY – MAY 18: Moise Kean of ACF Fiorentina in action during the Serie A match between Fiorentina and Bologna at Stadio Artemio Franchi on May 18, 2025 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan have reportedly earmarked Kean as a potential replacement in the event of a surprise departure by Marcus Thuram. Meanwhile, Napoli are also eyeing the 25-year-old up. Advertisement The Partenopei are therefore working to strengthen their Serie A title-winning squad this summer. A backup to Romelu Lukaku in attack would be one of the priorities. The fact that Moise Kean has a €52 million release clause at Fiorentina could make him more attainable. However, according to the Gazzetta, it would be unlikely that either Inter or Napoli would offer that much in order to trigger the clause.

Report – Inter Milan Line Up Genoa Star As Alternative Target To Atalanta Midfielder
Report – Inter Milan Line Up Genoa Star As Alternative Target To Atalanta Midfielder Inter Milan have lined up Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup as an alternative target to Atalanta's Ederson this summer. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Il Messaggero, via FCInter1908. Advertisement Inter Milan's interest in Ederson is clear. The Brazilian is reportedly the Nerazzurri's top target to replace Hakan Calhanoglu in the event that the 31-year-old leaves this summer. However, it is far from clear that Inter will be able to afford a move for Ederson. Reportedly, Atalanta want a fee of at least €60 million for the 25-year-old. That would require Inter to make significant sales in order to finance a deal. Inter Line Up Genoa Midfielder Morten Frendrup As Alternative Target To Ederson BERGAMO, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 15: Éderson of Atalanta BC and Amir Richardson of ACF Fiorentina in action during the Serie A match between Atalanta and Fiorentina at Gewiss Stadium on September 15, 2024 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) According to Il Messaggero, therefore, Inter are also looking at other targets in midfield. One such potential target would be Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup. Advertisement The Dane has enjoyed a couple of outstanding seasons in Serie A. This after helping the Grifone to win promotion back to the top flight in the 2022-23 campaign. According to Il Messaggero, Inter see Frendrup as a potential reinforcement in midfield. The 24-year-old would certainly cost less than Atalanta's Ederson would.

Inter Milan Facing Nervous Wait For Netherlands Star's Release Clause To Expire – Barcelona Tempted To Move
Inter Milan are facing a nervous wait for the release clause of midfielder Denzel Dumfries to expire. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. They report that Barcelona are considering a bid for the Dutchman. Advertisement Inter Milan are considering the possibility that they could lose Denzel Dumfries this summer. The Nerazzurri will not lose the Dutchman for free. He signed a contract extension last year. However, that new deal includes a release clause of €25 million. Moreover, Inter are aware that Dumfries is not altogether happy with the harsh words from Inter captain Lautaro Martinez earlier this week. Then, there is the fact that Dumfries has changed his agent to Jorge Mendes. That could very well be a signal of intent to leave the club this summer. Inter Face Nervous Wait For Denzel Dumfries Release Clause To Expire MILAN, ITALY – MAY 18: Denzel Dumfries of FC Internazionale celebrates scoring his team's second goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and SS Lazio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on May 18, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) The release clause for Dumfries is the big reason for Inter's anxiety. They are aware that €25 million would be less than the Dutchman is worth on the market. Advertisement However, there is a notable catch. The release clause for Denzel Dumfries is only valid until the fifteenth of July. Therefore, Inter will have to wait another ten days. Barcelona are weighing up a move for Dumfries. Meanwhile, there continues to be Premier League interest in the former PSV wingback. However, if Inter can get through the next ten days without any club activating Dumfries's release clause, then they will have much more control over the situation and can breathe a sigh of relief.
