AC Milan are ready to battle Newcastle and Liverpool for Leeds United player Crysencio Summerville who could soon be offered a new contract by the Championship club.
As reported by Football Transfers, Leeds are very aware of the interest in Summerville and they want to ward it off with a new contract for the winger.
Milan’s interest is said to be reliant on Rafael Leao leaving the club this summer, with links to Paris Saint-Germain intensifying after Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid became inevitable.
Leeds are currently third in the Championship and stand a serious chance of getting back into the Premier League, and that would certainly give them a better chance of keeping Summerville. A new deal is unlikely to be signed by the player until he knows what league Leeds will be in next season.
The interest from Newcastle and Liverpool means that Summerville will almost certainly be in the Premier League, even if Leeds are not.
The 22-year-old has got 17 goals and eight assists in 38 Championship games, but he could end up costing around £45 million if the bids do start to come in. That price will probably rise if they get promoted as their bargaining position strengthens.
Winger is definitely the least of our problem at the moment. Unless there are some exits. Even, in the case of Leao being sold; Pulisic could very well be deployed at the LW and Samu at the RW. Would Milan be so kind to spend 45M on a sub? Unlikely.
Don’t think we need wingers.
We don’t need a winger
We could sign winger coz maybe they can deploy pulisic as a CAM so a spot for winger can be found. Summerville would be good addition to be honest so LW Leao RW chuk and Summerville
I love these references to random secondary sources.
Yh it is random but the player is good tho
For the comments above, he’s probably not Plan A but the scouting team has to keep a list of potential targets in case we need to replace one of the current set of wingers for some reason… if one of them gets sold to Paris for example.
Leeds will get promoted and have no need to sell though, so I don’t see any value here at all.
45 million for a championship player😂
45m poundsterling for winger that play 1 good season in championship ( equal to serie B ) . Sure ACM will pay that for back up / rotation winger. So funny read this random rumour. Dont take it serious guys , no club will pay that amount for one season wonder except maybe Chelsea or MU
