West Ham reportedly reject Roma’s £34m Summerville bid

West Ham have reportedly rejected Roma’s opening £34 million offer for Crysencio Summerville. The bid has an answer, but the transfer remains some distance from one.

Read West Ham says sources close to the club described the proposal as a “non-starter” because it fell below a reported £40 million release clause. The outlet says that figure would need to be paid in full, with West Ham requiring a package above £40 million if Roma use instalments. A report reproduced in the article puts West Ham’s valuation above €50 million and Roma’s limit at €40 million.

Contacts between West Ham, Roma and Summerville’s representatives are reported to be continuing. Football Italia, as cited by Read West Ham, says Roma want to keep his salary below €4 million a year, while his demand is closer to £100,000 a week.

There is no agreement on the fee or personal terms. Roma’s opening move has been rejected, and both gaps remain.
