Declan rice rejects a move to Bayern Munich for the upcoming summer, and prefers to stay in the Premier League. The German side wants to bring Rice as Thomas Tuchel admires the 24-year-old.

Bayern want to upgrade their midfield, and they are ready to splash the cash on Rice. However, they need to sell some players, and one of them could be Leon Goretzka. Tuchel is not a big fan of Goretzka, and Bayern may look to sell him this summer.

Rice is looking for a move from the London Stadium for quite some time now, but this summer, he is eager to join a bigger club. Rice only has two years remaining in his contract, and he has no interest of signing a new contract with them.

Arsenal have not changed their plans for Declan Rice as top target: opening bid to be submitted in June, waiting for West Ham to clarify final price tag. 🚨⚪️🔴 #AFC

Declan Rice rejects Bayern move, as he prefers to join Arsenal

As a result, West Ham United want at least £100m for Rice, and premier league clubs are ready to pay the fee. Arsenal are keeping tabs on Rice for quite some time now. Manchester United, Newcastle United, and Chelsea are all keeping a close eye on Rice’s situation.

So, a move to Stamford Bridge seems unlikely, as they are will not play in the Champions League next season. Whereas Arsenal seem to be the frontrunners in this race, and Man United are focusing more on Mason Mount deal. But, United may prefer to exchange players to lower the asking fee.

Arsenal will submit a bid of £90m after West Ham’s Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina. Rice prefers a move to the North London club and has given his word to Arteta that he will join them.

Arsenal wants to upgrade their midfield, and so the number one target seems to be Declan Rice. They are also eyeing up a move for Moises Caicedo in the summer. It will be interesting to see who Declan Rice will join this summer.
