Roma personal-terms claim remains disputed by wage-gap report

Roma's supposed personal-terms agreement with Crysencio Summerville is still anything but settled. Fabrizio Romano, as reported by Claret&Hugh, says the winger agreed terms. Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed by West Ham Zone, says the sides remained apart after a meeting, and Sportwitness, quoted by Claret&Hugh, now reports the same core obstacle: Summerville wants €6 million a year while Roma will not go above €4 million.

Sportwitness says Roma would also need to pay West Ham €45 million, but no fee agreement is reported. West Ham's rejection of a £34 million opening bid remains the latest reported club-level development.

The same Sportwitness account says Summerville's agent is sounding out Manchester United and Aston Villa, both of which have recently inquired. Neither is reported to have made a definitive move. Roma have the only reported bid, but both the fee and even the personal terms remain unresolved in the available accounts.
