West Ham ‘accept they will have to sell Declan Rice in summer’ as Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd eye £100million transfer

WEST HAM have reportedly accepted that they will have to sell Declan Rice this summer.

The club captain has attracted interest from top clubs in the Premier League for his form at the club over the last couple of seasons.

West Ham are reportedly willing to sell Declan Rice

The Hammers have been able to keep hold of him following the retirement of veteran Mark Noble.

But according to the Daily Mail, the East London side are prepared to sell Rice, 24, if an appropriate offer comes in for him.

Rice’s contract expires in 2024, but there is an option to extend the deal by a further year for the club.

West Ham will use this clause in their negotiations and argue that his contract is valid until 2025.

The England international is valued at £100million and is believed to be a target for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United.

And if the club receive a bid that matches their price tag, they will be willing to let him go.

Rice has already stated that he wants to be competing for the biggest trophies.

Since breaking into the team Rice has become one of the most complete midfielders in the Premier League, making 200 appearances in the competition.

Manager David Moyes previously stated that the midfielder will be very expensive for interested clubs.

However, there is still some hope at the club that if they win the Europa Conference League and qualify for the Europa League, Rice may be willing to extend terms with the club.

West Ham play their first leg of the semi-finals against AZ Alkmaar at the London Stadium on Thursday.
