Leeds United are likely to have to sell Crysencio Summerville this window, but the fee they receive is potentially rising upwards of £40million.
Leeds United are set to begin their pre-season next week, with several high-profile names expected to return for the first day of training under Daniel Farke.
Crysencio Summerville is among those players, although his future at the club remains uncertain as a potential transfer looms. While he may not be present for the start of the season, there are still developments to come regarding the winger’s likely move.
Insights into Crysencio Summerville’s asking price have been revealed.
Premier League interest in the Dutch winger has been substantial, especially after he was named Championship Player of the Season for the 2023-24 season.
The club appears well-positioned to demand a substantial fee for Summerville, contrasting sharply with how they had to manage notable departures last summer, particularly those involving the 49ers.
Journalist Ben Jacobs suggests that Leeds United could be aiming for a fee exceeding £40 million for the winger. He discussed the potential departure of the 22-year-old with GiveMeSport recently.
Ben Jacobs commented on Crysencio Summerville’s potential transfer situation:
“He (Summerville) wasn’t agitating or pushing for a move mid-season, when he was being linked with a variety of clubs, and the price that Leeds will ultimately sell for is just going to be too good for somebody not to come in, and it will be absolutely staggering if there isn’t an offer for Summerville.
“Of course, Leeds’ valuation may extend above £40 million. Suitors perhaps are hoping more for £30 million to £35 million. But the reality is that whether it’s £30 million or whether it’s above £40 million in the current and quite inflated market, that is still an excellent investment for a player that was the EFL player of the season last campaign.”
Summerville will depart Leeds for a substantial fee.
It appears inevitable that Summerville will leave the club, a notion that gained momentum after Southampton defeated Leeds at Wembley in the playoff final. His talent has made him too valuable to remain in the Championship, and it seems unlikely he’ll stay for another season.
The fee received for Summerville’s transfer is expected to be substantial, providing Leeds with a significant boost for rebuilding their squad and achieving greater balance.
