In response to interest from AC Milan, Liverpool, and Newcastle, Leeds United intends to extend an offer to Crysencio Summerville for a new contract at Elland Road, as reported by Football Transfers.
The club will offer Summerville a lucrative new contract if they are promoted, according to a report from the transfer news outlet on April 8. However, there is no certainty that he will sign it.
This occurs as Liverpool is getting ready for life under Jurgen Klopp, with one of Mohammed Salah or Luis Diaz potentially departing Anfield, while Newcastle is trying to strengthen their attacking options.
Crysencio Summerville is of interest to both Leeds United and Liverpool.
Summerville’s incredible achievements in the Championship, which have earned him a nomination for Player of the Season, meant he was sure to be linked to a major move away from Elland Road this summer.
The winger has come through for his team when they needed it most, tallying 17 goals and eight assists in 38 league games. He has emerged as the face of Daniel Farke’s Leeds revolution as they aim to make it to the Premier League.
Summerville has drawn interest from European powerhouse Atletico Madrid in addition to Liverpool and Newcastle. Given the high-profile interest in him, the winger may be tempted to turn down a new contract in favor of a huge move.
Everything hinges on Leeds’ ability to advance to the Premier League; if they don’t, there’s very little likelihood the winger will want to stay at Elland Road. They will currently need to advance through the playoffs.
