Costs more than Haaland, the player approaching City and exciting Guardiola

Manchester City has set its sights on English midfielder Declan Rice from West Ham and considers him their star signing for the 2023/2024 season. According to the latest reports, the club is preparing a record-breaking offer of over 100 million EUR to secure his arrival.

The interest of the current European champions in Declan Rice is so high that Manchester City has put forward a sum of 90 million EUR for the West Ham captain. This would be accompanied by an annual salary of over 15 million EUR, making the player one of the highest-paid at the club.

This operation would mark a milestone for Manchester City as it surpasses the 100 million EUR barrier in signing Declan Rice. The goal of coach Pep Guardiola is to fill the void left by Gundogan's departure, and he is confident that the English player can fulfill that role.

However, Arsenal is not willing to lag behind and is pressuring to sign Declan Rice. After coming close to surprisingly winning the Premier League ahead of Manchester City, the team led by Mikel Arteta is looking to strengthen their squad to compete regularly in the upcoming season.

There's competition

Arsenal sees in Rice the necessary capability to strengthen their team and achieve their goals. However, the club could miss out on one of their most desired signings due to the strong financial offensive from Manchester City, which continues to disrupt the transfer market with their high investments. The competition for the midfielder promises to be intense.
