As reported by the BBC and other sources, Pep Guardiola’s Champions League-winning team made a bid of £90 million (approximately €104.6 million) for the 24-year-old midfielder. However, Europa Conference League winners West Ham reportedly want £100 million (around €116 million). Following the departure of German national player Ilkay Gündogan to FC Barcelona, Manchester City is seeking midfield reinforcements. FC Arsenal is also interested in signing Rice, but so far, they have failed to reach an agreement with their London rivals.
Recently, there were also reports of possible interest from FC Bayern Munich in the English national player. However, Bayern President Herbert Hainer dismissed the speculation, stating, “Declan Rice is not on our agenda.”
