Declan Rice, an England midfielder, is free to sign a contract with a Champions League team as long as the $120 million price tag is reached, according to West Ham manager Gary Neville claims Rice is only worth £60 million in the transfer market.
We sincerely hope he remains, Moyes remarked. Though we hope to see him play for West Ham, we understand that things might not work out at the conclusion of the season.
That, then, is one of the planning-related eventualities. We have plans for Dec to be here, but we also know full well that there’s a good chance he won’t.
Despite the fact that West Ham’s Premier League position is still up in the air following their victory against Manchester United last week, Moyes has been unable to make arrangements for the upcoming campaign.
The preparations have been neglected. The Scot continued, It’s always been about making sure you’re a Premier League team. If not, your planning will fail miserably.
A significant portion of it won’t happen until we realize we’ve maintained our Premier League spot. Although we’re keeping a close eye on a number of players, games, and scouting, the real goal has been to remain in the Premier League.
Following their 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar on Thursday night in the first leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final, West Ham will travel to Brentford on Sunday.
With the second leg in the Netherlands in mind, Moyes is expected to make some changes. Rice, Jarrod Bowen, and Michail Antonio—who was hobbling after the AZ match—are expected to get a rest.
Less than a day remains until the game, and we are still evaluating a number of players, he stated. Though there are clearly bumps and bruises, I’m praying Michail is not too hurt.
He should be fine for Sunday, however we will evaluate him.
If a Champions League team makes a £120 million offer, West Ham will let Declan Rice depart this summer.
For the midfield player, West Ham would also take £100 million plus a player; the Hammers have already made inquiries about him.
Arsenal is currently his most likely destination, but the England international has also attracted interest from Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
This summer, Rice’s contract will expire, but West Ham has the option to extend it for an additional year. It was eighteen months ago that he turned down a new deal of £200,000 a week.
Only if the price is right will West Ham sell, and all earnings from any prospective sale would go toward bolstering the team come summertime.
Rice’s desire of playing in the Champions League will not be thwarted by West Ham if a reasonable offer is made, as a sign of respect and appreciation for his six seasons in the first team.
According to reports, Rice makes roughly £70,000 per week, so if he relocates this summer, his pay should at least triple.
Because Rice is only 24 years old, has a stellar injury record, and is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world, West Ham places a high value on him.
