The football agent at the heart of negotiations for Declan Rice is Neil Fewings from the Wasserman Media Group.
The 19-year-old defender was previously managed by Playerworks but recently moved agents to Fewings.
Fewings is also the FA listed intermediary involved in transfer deals involving Jack Wilshere, Junior Stanislas, Rob Green, Mo Diame, Victor Moses, Jason Puncheon, Vigil Van Dijk, Tom Huddlestone and Ryan Bertrand.
In March 2017 WHUFC.com announced Rice had signed a new three-and-a-half-year deal with West Ham securing his services until 2020.
That deal was worth £3,000 per week basic wage plus £10,000 bonus per first team appearance.
The teenager made 35 appearances last season earning him £350,000 on top of his £156,000 per annum basic wage.
Claret and Hugh understand that the club have offered a new package £15,000 per week basic with appearance clauses that could take him to £30,000 a week in total.
Pellegrini will get the final say whether that offer will increase but for the time being there is no agreement.
I completely understand the taking care with cash thing, but it would be farcical to lose Rice unless Pellegrini has made up his mind that he is not in his plans.
…if a second-rater like Mawson is worth £20m+, what on earth will Rice be worth in a season or two?
I heard rices agent is also the agent of Felipe Anderson, is that true?
I am pretty sure that Giuliano Bertolucci is Anderson’s agent along with his partner in crime Kia Joorabchian
