Declan Rice is not available for £100m

David Moyes insists Declan Rice would not be sold even if an offer of £100m came in for his star player saying he is worth much more than that.

When asked whether he worried about the interest in Rice, Moyes said: “No I don’t, because there was a bargain to be got with Declan at £100m. That bargain’s now gone. So we have a lot of really good players at this football club. I think while you’re building and developing, people might always come and look at your players.But it’s good that they are because that tells us that they’re doing well.”

These comments come just seven months on from when Moyes claimed that Rice would only go for a fee of £100m (Sky Sports).

Last week former Hammer Leroy Rosenior exclusively told Claret and Hugh

 “With every game, this lad plays his value is increasing. He would take any club in the land to a different level but I still remain hopeful the Hammers can keep him beyond next summer. But if they don’t he will surely be going for somewhere close to £150 million. Jack Grealish went for £100 million but Declan is a  more important player to a club – in fact he is one of the most astonishing players I have seen in many years.”

Jack Grealish holds the current record transfer fee at £106m when he joined Manchester United last summer followed by Romelu Lukaku joining Chelsea for £104m this season.  Maybe Delcan Rice could become the third £100m+ player in the Premier League smashing the current reecord.
