West Ham have reached an agreement with Al Hilal for the sale of Crisencio Somerville.
Sky Sports News It is understood the deal is worth around £68m (€80m).
Roma have been trying to secure a deal with West Ham for the Netherlands international.
The Serie A club’s £39m (€46m) bid for Somerville was reportedly rejected on Monday.
News of the delay in Al Hilal’s Summerville bid was first reported by Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio’s Sky early on Tuesday afternoon.
The Saudi club’s offer, which was almost double Roma’s initial offer of £39m, was quickly accepted by West Ham.
If the transfer goes through, Somerville will be the third-highest sale in West Ham history, behind Declan Rice and Matheus Fernandes.
The Hammers, who have been relegated to the Championship, will raise more than £150m from Somerville and Fernandes this summer once the sale is completed.
Manchester United were one of the Premier League clubs interested in Somerville.
However, nothing has progressed beyond initial exploratory talks as a move for the winger is contingent on the sale of Marcus Rashford this summer.
Somerville scored seven goals and provided five assists in 34 appearances for West Ham in 2025/26.
The 24-year-old appeared in all four of Netherlands’ matches at the 2026 World Cup, scoring two goals and providing two more assists.
