Roma Eyes Summerville and Mbaye for Attack Boost

Summerville Deal Nears Completion

Roma is moving closer to securing Crysencio Summerville from West Ham. The striker’s arrival is expected to shore up Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking options. With the departure of Matias Soulé still pending, the club sees Summerville as a key signing.

Analysts view the move as a strategic reinforcement for Roma’s forward line. Summerville’s experience at West Ham could bring immediate impact in Serie A. The deal is said to be in its final stages, pending only medical and contractual details.

Mbaye Emerges as Prime Target

Roma is also locking eyes on PSG’s Ibrahim Mbaye, the 2008‑born Senegalese winger who shone at the World Cup. Mbaye scored a spectacular goal against France and logged 155 minutes across the tournament, where he did not miss a single match. PSG could let him go on loan, with competition from Dembele, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia and Doué keeping pressure on the French side.

Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur, Leipzig and Atlético Madrid are all monitoring Mbaye’s situation. Roma’s interest joins a crowded field of suitors eager to capture the talented winger. A loan with an option to buy could finalize the transfer, avoiding a fierce bidding war.

Competing Clubs and Financial Outlook

Financial terms are shaping up as a loan for €25‑30 million, with a future purchase option that could hit €35‑40 million for PSG. The French club would also retain a counter‑purchase clause to protect their investment. Mbaye’s season stats—three goals and two assists in 30 games—highlight his potential return on investment.

Over 1,152 minutes were logged, including 101 minutes in Champions League action. Those numbers underscore his readiness for top‑level competition. The interest from multiple strong clubs suggests Mbaye’s upside is seen as significant across Europe.

What It Means for Roma’s Future

Securing both Summerville and Mbaye would give Roma depth on the flanks, addressing the manager’s request for two new wingers. The signings could revive the squad’s creative spark after recent departures. If both moves materialize, Roma may be positioned to challenge for trophies next season.
