Gasperini‑Summerville West Ham standoff as Roma raises offer to €46m
Roma have tabled a €46 million bid to West Ham for Dutchman Summerville, marking a decisive step in the Gasperini‑Summerville negotiations, but the English club turned down the proposal. The Roman side expects a positive reply and has prepared a €4 million salary plus bonuses to seal the deal.
Roma’s pursuit of Summerville is driven by the club’s belief that the Dutchman can strengthen their attacking options. The Roman side sees the addition as a way to broaden their offensive firepower.
To convince the player, Roma have prepared a €4 million salary together with performance‑related bonuses. The financial package is intended to match the player’s expectations and secure his services.
Fabrizio Romano confirmed on his YouTube channel that Summerville is open to joining the Giallorossi, reinforcing the club’s confidence in completing the deal. The confirmation highlights the player’s willingness to move to Rome.
Gasperini called Summerville directly today, indicating personal involvement in the negotiations. The manager’s direct outreach underscores the importance placed on the transfer.
The two clubs remained in contact throughout the day, with Roma’s initial offer of €40 million plus bonuses on the table. That proposal set the baseline for the ongoing talks.
West Ham rejected the €40 million bid and have stated they are looking for €50 million for the player. The English club’s stance signals a higher valuation of Summerville.
With the €46 million offer turned down, Roma now faces the challenge of meeting West Ham’s €50 million demand, while the English side holds firm on price, leaving the future of the transfer uncertain.
