Roma officials confirmed at Trigoria that they have secured a total agreement with Summerville. The Dutch winger’s consent clears the final major hurdle for the transfer. The club signalled its readiness to meet the €53 million clause before the transfer window officially closes.

Summerville has given full agreement, and formal negotiations with West Ham are now required. The player’s consent removes the last major obstacle. Roma is betting everything on the winger, according to club statements.
Gian Piero Gasperini told reporters, “Our engine is a bit slow to get going, but we can become a powerful tractor capable of grinding out progress.” The quote reflects his ambition for the club’s future. Fans await the Friedkins’ next steps, hoping the giant is no longer dormant.
