Attributed to original sourceRoma are reportedly down to the details with West Ham United for Crysencio Summerville for €50m including add-ons, so are working on commission, but there’s more clarity on the ‘clause’ issue.
Matteo Moretto and Sport Mediaset both report today that the second bid was also rejected , but that a third was being prepared that should suffice.
Sport Mediaset set this third attempt at £42m plus bonus.

It should be a total package of €50m, most likely split into €45m fixed fee and €5m in variable performance-related bonuses.
She claims the only remaining issue is commission for the agent and intermediaries.
Meanwhile, there continues to be a great deal of confusion over the presence of a release clause , as Sportitalia claim it will expire in 24 hours and is set at under €50m, Sport Mediaset argue it is worth €53m, and Sky Sport Italia maintain there is no release clause in Summerville’s contract with West Ham.
Moretto is more specific, calling it ‘less a clause, more a pact’ following relegation.
The fact remains, the Hammers need to sell the Netherlands international following their relegation from the Premier League.

What happened
Italian outlet reports indicate that AS Roma have held talks with West Ham United over a potential transfer for Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville. The proposed fee is in the region of €50 million. Summerville joined West Ham from Leeds United in 2024 and has been a target for Roma as they look to strengthen their attacking options. The negotiations are described as ongoing, with both clubs working through the structure of the deal.
Chance analysis
A €50m outlay for Summerville would represent a significant statement of intent from Roma and a major recoup for West Ham on a player they signed relatively recently. If completed, it would reshape Roma's wide attacking options and free up West Ham to reinvest. The fee level signals Roma's ambition to compete at the top end of Serie A and potentially in European competition.
Roma would gain an attacking reinforcement worth up to €50m; West Ham would lose a winger and receive a significant transfer fee.
Monitor Summerville's status: if the transfer goes through, his absence weakens West Ham's attack; if it collapses, expect Roma to pursue alternative wing targets.
