PSG preparing decisive move to beat Man United to Crysencio Summerville | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly set to step up their pursuit of Manchester United target Crysencio Summerville.

United want Summerville

While United’s focus has been on bolstering the midfield, other positions are expected to come into play as the window progresses, including the attack.

In particular, United are keen on signing a left winger, with Marcus Rashford expected to depart permanently. United already confirmed Jadon Sancho’s exit, which means there is a real danger that Michael Carrick could be left short in this position.

The Red Devils have been linked with a number of forwards, including Summerville. He is all but guaranteed to part ways with West Ham following their relegation to the Championship. Summerville contributed five goals and four assists in 31 Premier League appearances last term.

With two goals in two World Cup games for the Netherlands, he has firmly announced himself on the global stage. His latest effort, a breathtaking finish against Sweden, has only intensified the spotlight.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that United have formally enquired about the Dutchman’s situation. West Ham value him at around £50m.

United are not the only club chasing Summerville. PSG have been mentioned to be admirers of his, while Arsenal have also been credited with an interest in the player.

Now, CaughtOffside claim that two other Italian clubs have joined the race for Summerville’s signature. However, it’s PSG who seem to be making the strongest push to land the 24-year-old, as they prepare a bid to snap him up.

Summerville update

CaughtOffside say that United view Summerville’s £50m price tag as a major obstacle to getting a deal over the line.

“Interest in Summerville extends beyond England. Napoli and AC Milan continue to monitor the situation, while Paris Saint‑Germain have already made contact with West Ham.”

It’s said that PSG are ready to test the waters with an initial £43m bid for Summerville. Beyond that, the Ligue 1 leaders are also considering a £130m package that would bring both Summerville and United midfield target Mateus Fernandes to the French capital.

Should West Ham reduce their demands to between £30–40 m, then Roma are also prepared to pounce for Summerville. CaughtOffside note that a “fierce battle” is brewing between United, PSG and Roma.

His contract with the Hammers expires in 2029.
