Arsenal dan Manchester United Berebut Crysencio Summerville dari West Ham

Arsenal dan Manchester United dilaporkan tengah bersaing ketat demi mengamankan tanda tangan sayap West Ham United, Crysencio Summerville, menjelang bursa transfer musim panas 2026 setelah klubnya terdegradasi dari Liga Premier.

Dilansir dari Metro, Arsenal kini ikut meramaikan perburuan pemain berusia 24 tahun tersebut bersama Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, hingga Paris Saint-Germain yang berniat merekrutnya sekaligus bersama Mateus Fernandes.

West Ham United dikabarkan mematok harga sekitar 50 juta poundsterling untuk pemain asal Belanda yang masih terikat kontrak hingga Juni 2029 itu, meskipun angka tersebut berpotensi dinegosiasikan demi menyeimbangkan neraca keuangan klub.

Jurnalis senior David Ornstein melalui The Athletic memberikan informasi mendalam mengenai ketertarikan tim Setan Merah terhadap pemain yang bersinar saat masih membela Leeds United tersebut.

"One of those paying serious attention to Summerville are Manchester United, the tricky winger ranking highly among multiple options being studied in case they recruit in that position. United have enquired about his situation and will be aware that it is expected to cost approximately £50million for West Ham to sanction the departure of a player under contract until June 2029. Much will depend on the future of Marcus Rashford, given that Barcelona did not activate the €30m buy option in his season-long loan (it expired on Monday)." kata David Ornstein, Jurnalis The Athletic.

Di sisi lain, Manchester United juga gencar melakukan pendekatan untuk rekan setim Summerville, Mateus Fernandes, yang memiliki nilai pasar cukup tinggi di bursa transfer kali ini.

"The contacts are going to continue in the next hours and days for Mateus Fernandes. Man Utd are there. Man Utd want to get the player, and are in direct contact with the player’s camp.

Fernandes is very keen on a move to Manchester United. The discussions on the player side are going well, both with the player and his camp. Now it depends on the club-to-club discussions with West Ham.

They’re starting at an £85m valuation for Fernandes. Ideally, they wanted £100m, but the expectation is they could close the deal at around £85m, not less than this. Man Utd’s initial discussion with those taking care of this deal is under £85m.

So Man Utd want to spend less than this." ujar Fabrizio Romano, Pakar Transfer Sepak Bola melalui saluran YouTube miliknya.

Pemilik de facto West Ham United, Daniel Kretinsky, dikabarkan sangat ingin mencegah eksodus massal para pemain bintangnya dan mencoba mempertahankan kapten Jarrod Bowen serta menolak penjualan profil tinggi selain Fernandes.
