The Initial Contact
Roma continues their search for an attacking reinforcement to complete Gian Piero Gasperini’s attacking trio. In the last few hours, a rumor has emerged regarding sporting director Frederic Massara’s interest in Crysencio Summerville. According to Fabrizio Romano, between Friday and Saturday, the Giallorossi management initiated contact with West Ham to explore their willingness to transfer the Dutch winger, but the London club’s response was a categorical no.
Crysencio Summerville: A Desired Target
Summerville isn’t a new name at Trigoria. The Giallorossi already attempted to sign him in 2024 when he played for Leeds. The Dutchman then moved to West Ham. Today, the Hammers, who are climbing the league table, have no intention of letting him go. For Roma, the closest option remains Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. Sporting director Frederic Massara likes the Belgian but only on loan, a deal that Al Shabab is not currently open to.
The Roadblock with Yannick Ferreira Carrasco
Despite the interest in Crysencio Summerville, it seems that the roadblock lies with Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. The Belgian winger is a preferred option for Roma, but negotiations for a loan deal are proving to be challenging. Al Shabab, where Carrasco currently plays, is not open to letting him go on loan. This situation has forced Roma to explore other options, including the pursuit of Summerville from West Ham.
