Biafora claims Roma have Summerville agreement

Roma reportedly have an agreement with Crysencio Summerville, but the deal with West Ham is not done.

Filippo Biafora says Roma have reached a total agreement with the winger and intend to pay a release clause worth about £45 million (€53 million), according to West Ham Zone. He says only the formal steps with West Ham remain before Summerville's exit can be confirmed.

Gianluca Di Marzio gives a materially different account in the same article. He says Summerville's West Ham contract contains no release clause and Roma are still negotiating with the club. The player agreement is claimed. A club agreement and completed move are not.
