Leeds United to lose chunk of Crysencio Summerville transfer fee as PSG development emerges
Leeds United will lose 15% of any transfer fee they receive for Crysencio Summerville as Feyenoord have a sell-on clause, according to 1908.
Writing on their website (2 July), the news outlet report that the 22-year-old Dutch winger is attracting interest from the likes of French champions Paris Saint-Germain [Telegraaf, 2 July] after his stand-out season in the Championship.
Fabrizio Romano has previously reported that Leeds want between £35-40m to allow him to move, but Feyenoord will receive 10% of the fee as part of their sell-on clause while also receiving another 5% as a solidarity contribution for him coming through their academy.
Leeds United must demand major fee to avoid losing out on deal
After the sale of Archie Gray was confirmed to Tottenham, there is now absolutely no pressure for the club to sell top stars this summer.
The 49ers are open to deals if the price is right, with Illan Meslier a name that has been mentioned [David Ornstein, 2 July], but the expectation is that Summerville will move and the club won’t stand in his way [Ben Jacobs, 24 June].
That won’t mean they will let him go on the cheap however, and with the Whites being forced to give up 15% of the fee to Feyenoord they will be even more intent on driving the price up to get the highest price possible.
It now seems like most club’s chances of signing him for a lower fee has gone with the PSR deadline passing, and Leeds are in a fantastic negotiation position.
Unless Summerville decides to push for a move, which you’d imagine could happen as the summer progresses, then it’s time for clubs to put up or shut up.
In other Leeds news, the club have been handed a major boost in their bid to keep Crysencio Summerville after a £33m development emerged.
