Liverpool and Newcastle remain keen on Crysencio Summerville but AC Milan are also considering a move for the winger should Rafael Leao leave the San Siro, FootballTransfers can reveal.
Daniel Farke’s men currently sit third in the Championship and one point off an automatic place behind Ipswich Town. Should Leeds achieve promotion, we understand that the side will look to offer their Dutch star a bumper new deal to remain at Elland Road - but this is not a guarantee that he will stay.
Newcastle are after someone who can play across the front-line and even as a No.10. Summerville has predominantly being playing on the left-flank this season but he is also adept on the right side.

The Reds, meanwhile, are preparing for life without Jurgen Klopp and an aspect of Summerville agreeing a move to Anfield would be slightly contingent on who they replace the German with - and also if Mohamed Salah or Luis Diaz do leave in the summer.
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a spellbinding campaign in which has scored 17 goals and provided eight assists across 38 Championship games so far.
How much will Crysencio Summerville cost?
AC Milan believe that once Kylian Mbappe leaves, presumably to Real Madrid, that Paris Saint-Germain will push hard for Leao. Consequently, the Italian giants have listed Summerville as a possible replacement for the Portugal international.

Sources inform us that Leeds will ask for around £45 million for Summerville but this could vary depending on the number of proposals that land on their table.
