Roma chase Dutch winger Summerville as €53m clause looms

Roma are prepared to trigger Crysencio Summerville’s release clause with West Ham United, but the exact fee remains uncertain, with rumours hovering around €53 million. The Hammers, relegated from the Premier League, must sell the Dutch winger, and several clubs are circling the Netherlands international.

Roma are prepared to activate Crysencio Summerville’s release clause from West Ham United. It remains unclear whether the fee will be below the rumoured €53 million figure.

The Hammers must sell their star winger following relegation from the Premier League. There is no shortage of clubs interested in signing the Netherlands international.

Roma set conditions for a West Ham deal in their first meeting with Summerville’s agents. The club has already missed out on many targets this summer. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini complained this week that Roma are too slow to complete deals.

Roma remain determined to secure Summerville. The release clause is set to expire in two days, adding pressure to the negotiations.

Il Tempo newspaper and Sky Sport Italia suggest Roma could agree to pay the release clause. Sky Sport Italia are confident Summerville has agreed the move.

Two problems complicate the transfer: the clause expires in two days and its exact value is unclear. English reports and Il Tempo value the clause at €53 million, roughly £45 million. transfer pundit Alfredo Pedullà believes the fee is under €50 million, about £42.5 million.

Sky Sport Italia report that Summerville has agreed personal terms. Reporter Eleonora Trotta says the contract would be worth €4 million per season plus bonuses.

Summerville would join a new Dutch attack alongside fellow Netherlands international Donyell Malen. Malen is also a Netherlands international.
