West Ham United will not be getting mega bucks Saudi Pro League money for Crysencio Summerville despite Al Hilal entering the race for the Dutch winger\u2019s signature, Hammers News can reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New West Ham majority owner Daniel Kretinsky has made it clear the club does not have to sell players for financial reasons.<\/p>\n

\n

Therefore sales will only be sanctioned in the event of extraordinary offers, bids for players not in Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s plans, if the player agitates for a move and does not want to be part of West Ham\u2019s project or they have clauses in their contracts dictating they can leave if certain conditions are met.<\/p>\n

Summerville clause means West Ham won\u2019t get Saudi mega bucks<\/h2>\n

If you have been following Hammers News, you will know that Crysencio Summerville is one of those players with such clauses in his deal.<\/p>\n

After selling Mateus Fernandes for a whopping \u00a385m, the Hammers are resigned to also offloading Summerville for a pretty penny.<\/p>\n

Hammers News has already exclusively revealed that flying Dutchman Summerville will snub Spurs for his preferred move to Man United.<\/p>\n

West Ham also clarified Summerville\u2019s release clause in another Hammers News exclusive.<\/p>\n

The likes of PSG, Roma and Chelsea have also been linked with Summerville after his impressive performances for Holland at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Belgian journalist and friend of Hammers News Sacha Tavolieri revealed on X yesterday that Al Hilal have entered the race for Summerville too.<\/p>\n

The Saudi club have officially opened talks with the player\u2019s representatives to explore the possibility of a deal this summer, it is claimed.<\/p>\n

And West Ham have been informed of Al Hilal\u2019s interest.<\/p>\n

Hammers hamstrung by \u00a350m clause and Summerville wants Europe<\/h2>\n

But West Ham won\u2019t be getting mega bucks Saudi money for Summerville for two different reasons.<\/p>\n

Hammers News has already revealed that Summerville has a relegation release clause in his contract which means West Ham have to listen to any offers over the \u00a350m mark \u2013 nearly twice what the club paid Leeds for the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n

How would YOU feel if Nuno gave a fresh start to these Hammers flops? \ud83e\uddd0<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The top source at West Ham previously stated that there are \u2018specific details\u2019 in Summerville\u2019s \u2018complicated\u2019 clause which are \u2018confidential\u2019.<\/p>\n

But the club made it clear in \u2018reality it is \u00a350m\u2019.<\/p>\n

While that does not strictly limit West Ham to selling Summerville for \u00a350m, clubs are not going to offer much more than that as they only need to hit the figure in the clause to then have the chance to speak with the player and his representatives.<\/p>\n

That is why the Hammers won\u2019t be getting a ridiculous bid from Saudi to see off the opposition.<\/p>\n

It would then come down to where Summerville wants to go.<\/p>\n

And that is where the second element which will dictate West Ham won\u2019t be getting Saudi cash comes in.<\/p>\n

Because Hammers News understands the player has no interest in going to the Saudi Pro League at this age and wants to continue playing in one of Europe\u2019s top leagues, preferably in the Champions League and \u2013 by choice \u2013 Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Summerville is also deeply religious and Hammers News understands that too could come into the Dutchman\u2019s thinking if he was given a decision to make over Saudi.<\/p>\n
