Arsenal are prepared to outbid the treble champions, Manchester City, for West Ham’s captain, Declan Rice, by offering £100 million.
The Gunners have been after the English midfielder’s signature since last year.
The 2022/23 Europa Conference League champion West Ham club, which included Rice, defeated Fiorentina of Italy by a score of 2-1.
The Daily Mail states that the Gunners’ opening bid of £90m was turned down.
According to prevailing beliefs, Rice exhibits a preference for relocating to the North London club as opposed to Manchester.
Nonetheless, the transfer process could be curtailed if Arsenal fails to fulfil the £100 million transfer fee.
It has been confirmed by West Ham that their midfielder is highly likely to depart during the upcoming summer season. This is due to the fact that he has garnered significant interest from Mikel Arteta, the coach of Arsenal, who has identified him as a key transfer target.
