Roma\u2019s summer pursuit of a marquee wide forward has collapsed on two fronts, with Crysencio Summerville heading to Saudi Arabia and Alejandro Garnacho set for Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

According to Tuttosport<\/a>, Al-Hilal have gatecrashed the Summerville negotiation at its final stage, tabling around \u20ac75 million including bonuses to West Ham and offering the Dutchman a contract worth \u20ac16 million net per season until 2031.<\/p>\n

Roma had agreed a fee of around \u20ac50 million with the London club and proposed personal terms of \u20ac4.5 million a year, with Summerville having appeared convinced, but Simone Inzaghi\u2019s side made an offer<\/a> neither the player nor West Ham could reasonably refuse.<\/p>\n

Garnacho waited for Roma before choosing Aston Villa<\/p>\n

The second blow came almost simultaneously, as Fabrizio Romano reports<\/a> that Garnacho, long courted by Roma, waited for the Giallorossi until the very end before opting to remain in the Premier League with Villa.<\/p>\n

The decisive factor was structure: the Friedkins\u2019 proposal involved a loan with an obligation to buy conditional on the Argentine reaching 60% of appearances, whereas Villa\u2019s conditions were easier met.<\/p>\n

The double setback leaves Tony D\u2019Amico back at square one and Gian Piero Gasperini still waiting for the attacking reinforcement he has demanded since pre-season began.<\/p>\n

The coach had already made clear his frustration at Roma\u2019s pace in the market following Zeki Celik\u2019s departure to Juventus, and with the club\u2019s self-imposed wage ceiling shaping what they can offer, the search for a wide man to support Paulo Dybala and Matias Soul\u00e9 must now begin again, with alternatives such as Ajax\u2019s Mika Godts among the names still on the list.<\/p>\n
