Abraham, 27, joined Roma in 2021 and netted 37 times in 120 appearances for I Giallorossi.
The 6ft 4in striker spent last season on loan with Italian rivals AC Milan, netting ten times in all competitions.
But that wasn’t enough to earn a permanent move as Milan suffered a disappointing season.
And he could now be set for a new challenge in Turkey’s Super Lig.
According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement has been made between Roma and Besiktas, with Abraham set to jet in for a medical soon.
Abraham would be a statement signing Solskjaer, who took the reins in Turkey in January after a three-year spell away from management following his ill-fated tenure with Manchester United.
Abraham will join Besiktas’ current front-man Ciro Immobile, who netted 15 league goals last season after making his own switch from Serie A in the summer.
His arrival would bolster a squad full of ex-Premier League talent, including Arsenal and Liverpool star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and ex-Spurs disappointment Gedson Fernandes.

The deal would spark Besiktas’ quiet transfer window into life, with their only other business so far being making last year’s loan signings of Felix Uduokhai and Joao Mario permanent.
Roma appointed former Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini as they’re new manager earlier this month, throwing Abraham’s future into uncertainty.
Abraham would be the latest in a series of Roma departures, with midfielder Enzo le Fee, full-back Samuel Dahl and winger Nicola Zalewski all completing permanent moves away from the club this summer.
Abraham moved to Italy for a fee of £35m four years ago after he failed to cement himself in the Chelsea set-up.
