Report: Mega asking price for Rice

The Daily Mail reports that Declan Rice will cost £150m this summer if he leaves West Ham.

The newspaper reports that the England international is in demand and that the Hammers have privately accepted they may have to cash in during the next transfer window.

Manchester United are hovering with intent but the Hammers are said to be determined to extract at least £150m from any buying club, which would be a British transfer record and £50m more than Manchester City paid for Jack Grealish.

United may end up being the only suitors, after Chelsea were rocked by government sanctions, while Manchester City appear to be focusing their attentions on signing Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

United are said to be hopeful that the price will come down if they are the only club in the race, while the Mail also report that Rice is willing to make the move to Old Trafford.

  1. Why on earth anyone would want to join that club in decline beats me. Now let me think-where did the story originate ? oh yes ! And its an international break. All makes sense now. Have West HAM said anything like that ? Thought not.

  2. And the Mail knows this how? Declan has as much chance of playing in the Champions league with us as with them.

  3. I’ve never believed any stories I’ve read in the past two years about Declan Rice moving on. Here’s my prediction …….. he’ll be wearing the captain’s armband passed down to him by Mark Noble next August.
