Midfielder Declan Rice will most likely become the 3rd English footballer to fetch over €100m this summer and 15th overall. According to the “GuardianEverything indicates that Arsenal will be awarded the captaincy of Conference League winners West Ham United. Accordingly, the “Gunners” are ready to pay the equivalent of around 105 million euros for the midfielder – West Ham are demanding additional bonuses of 11.5 million euros. This would make the basic fee higher than that of compatriot Jude Bellingham, who is moving to Real Madrid for 103 million euros. Thanks to bonuses, however, BVB can expect up to 133.9 million euros.

According to reports, Arsenal is way ahead and is also the player’s preferred choice, while interested parties such as FC Bayern or Manchester United only have outsider chances.
Market value of Declan Rice
The fact that the transfer fee doesn’t last until August is also in the interests of the “Hammers”, who, if an agreement is reached in the near future, will have planning security in order to reinvest the transfer fee for their home-grown player in the best possible way. Rice, who joined the London neighbors from Chelsea in 2013 at the age of 14, will definitely leave his training club this summer.
West Ham boss David Sullivan told Fiorentina after the final win: “talkSPORT“I think it has to be like that. We promised him he could go. He was determined to go. You couldn’t wish for a player who would have done more for us this season.” In due course, West Ham will have to find a replacement – or more than one. “It’s not what we want. We offered him £200,000 a week 18 months ago. He refused. It has cost him £10m to stay at West Ham during that time (in lost wages; ed.). And he wants to go. You can’t keep a player who doesn’t want to be there.” Edson Álvarez (25, Ajax), on whom BVB should also be interested, and James Ward-Prowse (28, Southampton) are considered replacement candidates.

A quick signature from Rice is also important for Arsenal in order to be able to pursue further transfer goals. Coach Mikel Arteta has Moisés Caicedo (21, Brighton) and Manchester City captain Ilkay Gündogan (32) on the list again for midfield. The latter would be a free transfer while a transfer of the Ecuadorian would likely cost over €70m.

In order to provide space in the squad and money, Arsenal want to part with numerous professionals – according to the “Times” these ten names are on the cross-off list: Rob Holding (27), Kieran Tierney (25), Emile Smith Rowe (22), Granit Xhaka (30) as well as loan players Folarin Balogun (21, Reims), Nicolas Pépé (27, Nice), Nuno Tavares (23, Marseille), Cédric Soares (31, Fulham), Albert Sambi Lokonga (23, Crystal Palace) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (25, Southampton) – all Arsenal loans at a glance.
