Feyenoord are 'licking their fingers' at the possibility of Crescencio Somerville leaving west ham united A potential move worth €40 million this summer.
Football news covering today's situation And explain how Somerville's departure from West Ham could benefit Feyenoord once again this summer.

This has become clear from the report in Italy Crescencio Somerville is currently attracting considerable interest from Roma. They are reportedly ready to spend big on the 24-year-old winger this summer.
West Ham also appear to be keen to make a deal of their own. They will negotiate if they receive a fee of around €40m. They will certainly look for a deal if they eventually get relegated from the Premier League.
The transfer would mean good news for Feyenoord. When Somerville joined Leeds United in 2020, he acquired a sell-on clause.
It paid off when the forward joined West Ham for €30m. Together with solidarity contributions and training compensation fees, he received approximately €4.5m from that deal.
Another great unexpected benefit can be found this summer also. If Somerville is sold for €40 million, the Dutch side will receive approximately €800,000 due to the solidarity scheme.
€40m transfer
So, they are 'licking their fingers', or their lips, whatever phrase you prefer, at the prospect of Crescencio Somerville leaving West Ham this summer.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether he does so and at what cost. With the World Cup around the corner, he could raise his asking price if the Netherlands give him the chance.
On the other hand, being relegated from the Premier League could have the opposite effect. West Ham will likely need to sell to balance the books, and Somerville will be one of the players targeted.
Either way, Feyenoord will have to make another payment if he leaves the London Stadium. They will keep a close eye to see what happens, and there is potential for more profits.
