However, West Ham&#8217;s \u00a350m valuation is seen as a major hurdle.

The English club&#8217;s valuation could drop to between \u00a330m and \u00a340m, which has encouraged the Serie A side. With Roma back in the Champions League and keen to strengthen their squad, Somerville&#8217;s refusal to play in the Championship makes a move to Italy look increasingly likely.<\/p>\n<p>Although his contract runs until 2029, West Ham&#8217;s financial pressures and Somerville&#8217;s ambition to remain at the highest level make a move very likely. There is expected to be a &#8220;fierce battle&#8221; between Manchester United, PSG and Roma in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United manager Michael Carrick watches the Premier League match between Newcastle United and Manchester United at St. James Park on March 4, 2026 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
