Roma want to close Summerville deal before weekend

Roma want to close Summerville deal before weekend With Greenwood gone, and Celik’s about-face having gone to Juventus instead of renewing his contract, Roma must shake up their transfer market. The start hasn’t been the best, as by July 17th the club hadn’t even managed to retain the three players whose contracts were expiring, as requested by Gian Piero Gasperini. Roma now want to accelerate their transfers and aren’t willing to wait beyond this weekend for a definitive response from Summerville. The Dutch winger will return to Europe today after a vacation in Miami. Summerville is expected to discuss his future with his agents in the next few hours and decide what course of action to take. As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the issue with Roma remains his salary: the player continues to ask for €6 million, and the Giallorossi don’t want to go above €4.5 million plus bonuses. At Trigoria, the diktat is one: maintain balance within the dressing room. Gasperini needs time to shape the new players, so the Giallorossi management won’t wait beyond next weekend, or Monday at the latest. Either Summerville accepts Roma’s terms, or the club will look elsewhere. If the player agrees, D’Amico will go to West Ham to close the deal, investing approximately €40 million for the 2001-born player.
