Roma bid €46m for West Ham forward Summerville | OneFootball

Roma have made their move for Crysencio Summerville, lodging a formal offer with West Ham as the pursuit of the Dutch winger accelerates sharply.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Summerville has given his agreement to the Giallorossi, won over by the club’s project, and Roma have followed that up with an official proposal worth €46 million.

The capital club now await West Ham’s response, with the expectation that a bid of that size should secure the London side’s consent, after which Roma will turn to finalising personal terms with the player.

Summerville bid comes despite Roma boss Gasperini’s wage-cap comments

The timing is intriguing. Earlier on the same day, Gian Piero Gasperini had appeared to rule Summerville out on financial grounds, citing the club’s newly imposed salary ceiling.

“By choice, not because of the club’s means,” the coach said when asked whether the winger was a realistic target.

“It’s been decided to set a wage ceiling, and it seems right to me: it’s not nice for someone who reached the Champions League to immediately be leapfrogged by a new arrival. If you can’t stay within the parameters, it’s better to go for other profiles.”

That a formal bid has followed within hours suggests either a shift in the club’s stance or that terms have been found to fit within those self-imposed limits.

It also marks a decisive move on the primary target after Roma had begun sounding out cheaper alternatives such as Ajax’s Mika Godts, whose lower wage demands had made him an appealing fallback.

For Gasperini, who has demanded three or four quality additions to a squad returning to the Champions League, landing Summerville would represent exactly the kind of marquee wide man he has been waiting for.
