NafisaDespite plenty of speculation linking Crysencio Summerville with a sensational return to Elland Road, Fabrizio Romano’s latest update has all but ended those hopes for Leeds United supporters.
Instead of preparing for a reunion in West Yorkshire, the Dutch winger now appears firmly on course for a move to Serie A. Romano has confirmed that AS Roma have stepped up their pursuit by submitting a third official bid after seeing two previous offers rejected by West Ham.
The latest proposal is worth €47 million plus add-ons, with West Ham now weighing up the improved offer as talks enter a decisive stage. Roma are pushing hard to reach a full agreement, making it increasingly unlikely that Leeds will have any opportunity to bring their former star back this summer.
For Leeds fans hoping for a fairytale return, Romano’s update effectively delivers the official verdict. Summerville’s future is now expected to be decided between West Ham and Roma, with the Italian giants doing everything possible to finally secure the deal in the coming hours.
Leeds United supporters could be about to witness one of their former fan favourites complete one of the biggest transfers of the summer after Fabrizio Romano revealed fresh developments in the race for Crysencio Summerville.
While Daniel Farke continues strengthening his current squad following the arrivals of Harry Wilson and £34million defender Tarik Muharemovic, plenty of attention remains on former Whites stars making headlines elsewhere.
Summerville is once again at the centre of the transfer market.
The Dutch winger has attracted interest from several top clubs following his impressive displays since leaving Elland Road, with Manchester United previously monitoring his situation as a possible replacement for Marcus Rashford.
However, it is AS Roma who have emerged as the club pushing hardest to secure his signature.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations have accelerated dramatically over the past 24 hours.
Roma initially saw their second proposal—worth more than €45 million—turned down by West Ham United, but the Italian club refused to walk away from negotiations.
Romano reported that Roma were preparing to return with a third official offer as they looked to finally convince the Hammers to sell.
Just hours later, another significant update followed.
Romano revealed that Roma have now officially submitted their third bid, with West Ham receiving a new package worth €47 million plus add-ons for the Dutch international.
The coming hours are expected to be decisive, with Romano indicating that the deal is approaching a defining moment as both clubs attempt to reach a final agreement.
The winger himself has been heavily linked with a move to the Italian capital throughout the summer, and Roma remain determined to land one of their priority attacking targets before the new season begins.
For Leeds supporters, there may also be relief that Summerville appears increasingly unlikely to join Manchester United.
The Red Devils had admired the former Elland Road star, but their pursuit depended on resolving Marcus Rashford’s future first, allowing Roma to move into pole position.
Now, with a third bid officially on the table and negotiations entering a crucial stage, the Serie A giants are closer than ever to completing a blockbuster deal.
All eyes will now be on West Ham’s response, with the next few hours expected to determine whether Summerville’s next chapter will be written in Rome.
