Roma ready €45m bid for Summerville
Roma have dramatically stepped up their pursuit of Crysencio Summerville and are prepared to submit a €45 million offer to West Ham United if the winger agrees to join, according to reports from Italy.
According to Sky Sport, the Giallorossi have accelerated in the last 48 hours, presenting a financial proposal that matches the Dutchman’s demands. Summerville, who returned from Miami on Thursday, is now expected to hold talks with his agents to decide his future.
Roma’s move comes after failing to land Mason Greenwood, with manager Gian Piero Gasperini earmarking the former Leeds loanee and Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho as alternatives. The Serie A side are keen to bolster their attack and see Summerville as a primary target.
Key details:
- Roma ready to offer €45m for Summerville
- Personal terms already presented to the player
- Decision expected in the coming hours after talks with agents
- Aston Villa monitoring the situation
Aston Villa lurking
However, Roma face serious competition from the Premier League. Aston Villa are monitoring the situation closely and could make a rival bid. Summerville is believed to be assessing all options before committing.
The 24-year-old enjoyed a strong World Cup campaign with the Netherlands and his stock has risen, making him an attractive proposition. West Ham signed him from Leeds in 2024, but a €45m offer would represent a significant return on their investment.
Roma hope an agreement on personal terms will pave the way for formal negotiations with the Hammers, with the player’s answer expected imminently.
