Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reports that Dutch international Crysencio Summerville has agreed to join AS Roma. Roma is accelerating negotiations and is one step away from finalizing personal terms with the player. The club plans to submit a formal offer to West Ham United worth €40 million plus €5 million in bonuses, totaling €45 million. West Ham's initial base asking price is slightly higher, but Summerville is fully willing to move to Roma. Fellow journalist Pedullà adds that a release clause in Summerville's contract sets the transfer fee at €45 million, clarifying that the fee was never valued at £50 million. Roma aims to conclude the deal by early next week.

Italian renowned journalist Matteo Moretto has provided the latest update on the transfer negotiations between Dutch international Summerville and Roma, via his recent podcast.
Key Developments
Moretto stated in the podcast:
"Let's talk about Roma first today. Roma has been chasing Summerville for several days, and now there is an important development. As I told you before, Roma is in a hurry and hopes to get a clear 'deal or walk away' result by early next week — Monday or Tuesday."
"But the new news this morning is: The agreement between Roma and the player is really just one step away. Summerville has nodded — he agrees to join Roma, and the agreement on economic terms is also just one step away. This has been and is very important because Summerville is also appreciated by other clubs, with other Premier League teams chasing him before and now, hoping to sign him to strengthen their attacking flanks."
"However, Roma is accelerating. They are currently very close to reaching an agreement with the player and have already obtained the player's consent. The next step will be to submit a formal offer to West Ham United. Therefore, Roma will also conduct an internal evaluation with the club's owners to determine how much they are willing to invest in Summerville."
Potential Offer
"I was told that Roma's possible offer could be €40 million plus €5 million in bonuses — in any case, a fairly high amount. It remains to be seen whether West Ham will accept it, because West Ham's initial base asking price was slightly higher. But the new development now is that Summerville is fully willing to join Roma."
Additional Context from Pedulla
Italian journalist Pedulla also provided supplementary coverage:
- Summerville had previously been open to joining Roma.
- A new round of communication will take place today.
- Full agreement still needs to be reached on all aspects.
- Important clarification: Due to the release clause in the contract (€45 million), the player's transfer fee has never been valued at £50 million.
