West Ham winger Crysencio Summerville linked with Manchester United as release clause triggers interest

West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville has a £40 million release clause that becomes active following the club’s relegation, down from a £70 million clause that would have applied had the team remained in the Premier League. The clause can be paid up front or negotiated in instalments, and the player is contracted until 2030, giving West Ham significant leverage.

Manchester United have made direct contact with West Ham to discuss a possible transfer for Summerville. The Red Devils are among several clubs monitoring the Dutch international, who impressed at the 2026 World Cup with two goals and two assists in four matches and posted nine goal contributions in 31 Premier League appearances last season. Weekly wage demands are reported at £100,000‑£115,000. Other interested parties include Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, PSG, Fulham and Roma.

Summerville’s situation reflects the broader impact of West Ham’s relegation, placing several of its key players in the transfer market as the club navigates the financial implications of dropping to the Championship.
