Fresh £80m target claims made by reports

|
Manchester United have made West Ham’s Declan Rice their top target for next summer, but he may be brought to the club as soon as January claims Goal.com.

The 20-year-old  Hammer has now been installed at the top of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s transfer shortlist claims the report.

The article goes on to say that Rice would cost around £80 million and Manchester United  are prepared to back Solskjaer financially despite an inconsistent start to the current season.

The report has since been repeated the Sun and Daily Mirror newspapers citing Goal.com.

The club’s position hasn’t changed, their star player is not for sell, they have have received no serious enquires or bids to date and would reject them should they arrive.

Last month Rice dismissed speculation linking him with a £70m move by saying

“I signed a five year contract with West Ham last year, which will keep me at club till I’m 24, and for me this is the best place to be right now. I am playing for a manager who has given me my chance and played me week in week out.

“I’m improving every week and although I see all this speculation, I don’t really think about it too much.

“It’s all talk until something happens – and nothing has – so I’m just focussed on West Ham, doing my best and making fans happy.”

    I dont think we now need koulibaly..with the 120 we can get a quality acm like kai havert form b.leverkusen and with the 30 remain i think we can use it to other transfers but i would like if we gonna ad a cm if pogba wont stay and a new acm is must even if pogba stays

      Are you crazy? Havertz and KoulIbaly would never go to West Ham and would be well out of their price range.

  • STEVEN LIVINGS says:

    Mussa, any chance of a translation please?

    It’s the last sentence that worries me.
    I think he’s on his way given the right deal.

    He will go if offer comes in. He has no loyalty.
