Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, AS Roma, Liverpool, Manchester United… all clubs that had spoken to him,” he said. “He said: ‘Listen to this, this is crazy.’ Then he told me about Al-Hilal and what they would do for him.”While Summerville is still young, it would be a surprise if Liverpool were to come back in for him in 2027 or beyond.
