Roma Closing in on Dutch Winger Crysencio Summerville
Attack Boost with a Young Dutch Talent
Roma have zeroed in on Crysencio Summerville as the man to elevate their forward line. The Giallorossi see the 2001‑born winger as the ideal upgrade for a squad looking to sharpen its cutting edge. Contract talks have moved forward after Roma softened their wage demands, initially set around €6 million.
Head coach Gasperini’s vision for the upcoming season now has a concrete name attached to it, and the Friedkin family is ready to push the deal over the line. The club’s latest push is aimed at convincing West Ham, who retain a €50 million budget to offload the player. Sources suggest Roma will meet that threshold to sweeten the offer.
West Ham, now relegated to the Championship, still want to maximise returns despite the release clause no longer being an option. Alessandro Malen has spoken with Summerville, receiving a positive response, though West Ham remain focused on extracting the highest possible fee.
Negotiation Journey and Financials
Roma’s first bid of €42 million fell short of West Ham’s expectations. Discussions indicate that an offer above €45‑46 million, possibly enriched with performance bonuses, could seal the agreement. A final proposal is anticipated by Wednesday, pending approval from the club’s ownership.
The financial ceiling of €50 million gives Roma room to maneuver, as they aim to convince the English side to release the young winger. Gasperini and sporting director Tiago D’Amico are hopeful their latest bid will be sufficient, or else they will pivot to alternative targets quickly.
Should the deal fail, Roma will have to look elsewhere, but the current trajectory points toward Summerville wearing the Giallorossi colours next season.
