Roma's €45m bid for Summerville fuels clash with Aston Villa

Roma have prepared a €45 million offer for West Ham forward Crysencio Summerville, with the Giallorossi aiming to secure the Dutch winger before the summer window closes. The proposal targets the 2001‑born attacker and directly pits Roma against Aston Villa, who have also been linked with the player. According to Sky Sport, the Giallorossi have accelerated sharply in the past 48 hours, presenting an important proposal to Summerville and his agents that meets the player’s financial demands. Should the Dutchman say yes, Roma are ready to follow up with an offer of around €45 million to reach an agreement with West Ham. Summerville, a Dutchman who featured for the Netherlands in the FIFA World Cup 2026, was photographed in Guadalupe, MEXICO, on JUNE 29 during the Round‑of‑32 match between the Netherlands and Morocco. The winger returns from Miami on Thursday and is expected to sit down with his representatives to take stock of his options.

That Roma have now met his demands suggests the club have made their choice, preparing to pay what it takes to land Gasperini a marquee wide man for their return to the Champions League. The Giallorossi’s search for attacking reinforcements has intensified after the failed pursuit of Mason Greenwood. Aston Villa are monitoring the situation closely and have emerged as the main Premier League rival for Summerville’s signature. Villa’s interest adds pressure on Roma to finalise the deal quickly, as the English club also seeks to bolster its forward line.

If Summerville accepts, the €45 million fee will move the winger from West Ham to Rome, strengthening Roma’s flank while providing West Ham with a substantial windfall. Conversely, a rejection would keep the Dutch forward in England, leaving Aston Villa to continue their pursuit.
