SAD TRANSFER UPDATE: Another SHOCKING betrayal to Leeds United after sources reveal ACE player who sworn loyalty to Club now to undergo medicals within hours to quit Leeds United for good.
According to an Italian journalist’s X account post on August 1, Summerville is set to complete his medical examination as he prepares to leave Leeds United.
The journalist had previously mentioned that Leeds agreed to a deal worth £25 million upfront, with additional performance-based bonuses for Summerville’s transfer.
Leeds United faces rebuilding challenges after Crysencio Summerville’s departure
Manager Daniel Farke had anticipated Summerville’s exit following the team’s Championship play-off final loss to Southampton. However, this transfer still significantly impacts United’s promotion prospects for the upcoming season.
Last season, the 22-year-old Summerville was named Championship Player of the Year, contributing 20 goals and nine assists in 43 matches. His performance was crucial to Leeds’ third-place finish.
Although Leeds had hoped for a higher transfer fee, interest from Premier League clubs Liverpool and Newcastle United, as well as French champions PSG, didn’t materialize into concrete offers.
Leeds supporters may find solace in the fact that this transfer saga has concluded. Given the prolonged interest in Summerville during the summer, it’s likely that the club’s scouting department has already identified potential replacements.
With Leeds’ Championship season opener against Portsmouth scheduled for August 10, the club has just over a week to secure a replacement. The timing of Summerville’s departure is particularly challenging.
Leeds must now act swiftly to reinvest the transfer funds and assemble a team capable of securing promotion to the Premier League next season. There’s no time to lose as the club aims to bounce back from this setback.
