Manchester United have learned the lowest fee they can sign Crysencio Summerville for, as Liverpool lurk in the background. The Dutch winger is a man in demand after scoring on his World Cup debut for the Netherlands against Japan.
West Ham's Stance on Summerville
West Ham United have no intention of rushing into a sale of Crysencio Summerville despite the crushing blow of relegation to the Championship. The club's new largest shareholder, Daniel Kretinsky, has insisted the Irons are under no obligation to offload their prized assets. However, there is a growing acknowledgement that holding on to the player this summer will prove challenging.
West Ham would require a fee in the region of £45 million before considering any deal for Summerville. The club are perfectly content to wait until after the World Cup before entering transfer negotiations, but they will not be pressured into a hasty sale.
Interest from Multiple Clubs
Manchester United are the latest club to register their interest in Summerville, who marked his World Cup debut with a goal during an enthralling 2-2 draw with Japan in Dallas. Several clubs, including Champions League winners PSG, are now looking to exploit West Ham's predicament and are hopeful of landing him at a knockdown price.
Tottenham are also searching for a new winger for Roberto De Zerbi and have held unofficial talks with Manchester City regarding a potential move for Savinho. Liverpool are seeking a new left-sided forward and previously monitored Summerville back in 2024, though it is unclear whether they will make a formal approach.
Other Transfer Targets
United are understood to be considering several alternative targets including Iliman Ndiaye and Morgan Rogers, but Summerville would be considerably cheaper than both. The club have also shown interest in Mateus Fernandes, a Portuguese midfielder valued at around £80 million, with Real Madrid and Arsenal among those circling. Arsenal are unwilling to meet that valuation and have stepped back in recent days, leaving United as frontrunners provided Real Madrid do not enter the race.
Summerville's value has soared significantly since January, when Tottenham were also weighing up a move for the former Leeds United winger. Both Summerville and Fernandes have had their wages reduced due to clauses in their contracts triggered by West Ham's relegation, yet they are widely expected to depart.
