West Ham reportedly weigh improved Roma bid for Summerville

West Ham are reportedly still deciding whether to accept Roma’s improved third offer for Crysencio Summerville. That jars with earlier claims that either Roma or Al-Hilal already had a bid accepted.

Read West Ham, citing Football Italia and Fabrizio Romano, puts Roma’s package at around €50 million, with approximately €47 million guaranteed plus achievable add-ons. The outlet says it is close to the West Ham valuation after two earlier approaches from Roma were rejected. ExWHUEmployee, relayed by West Ham Central and reported by Read West Ham, says West Ham are prepared to accept if no further offers arrive.

Alfredo Pedullà, as reported by Read West Ham, says Summerville has said goodbye to West Ham supporters and Roma expect to complete the remaining formalities shortly. Neither West Ham nor Roma has officially confirmed the transfer. For all the talk of farewells and formalities, the reported decision is still pending and Summerville’s destination is not settled.
