Roma expected to try again after two Summerville rejections

Roma have reportedly been knocked back twice for Crysencio Summerville and are lining up another try. The second rejection is concrete. The next bid is still only expected.

ExWHUEmployee, as reported by The West Ham Way, says West Ham rejected two offers and expected a third on 20 July that could come close to acceptance. He says Roma were in pole position, while West Ham hoped Aston Villa or another club would enter and push up the price. That is hoped-for competition, not a rival bid.

No third offer, fee agreement or completed move is confirmed. Roma have made the clearest reported approach, but the transfer remains unresolved.
